A center forward's main responsibility is to score goals. Wearing the No. 9 jersey, the center forward scores goals with his strong physique, agile reflexes, and keen eye for goal.
The upside down golden hook, also known as the upside down golden hook "over the head shot" or "scissors shot", is without a doubt the most magnificent shooting position in soccer.

The word "but" has two meanings in soccer terminology: to score a goal or to score a goal. It has both meanings because in soccer, the ball must be kicked into the goal (but) and over the goal line in order to score a goal (but).
