A target player is a forward or attacking player who, due to their physical presence and heading ability, serves as a focal point for long balls or crosses to secure the ball, lay it off, or take a shot themselves.
Why is a Target Player Important?
Target players are crucial for occupying opposing defenses and creating space for advancing players. They enable teams to quickly bypass the midfield and establish possession in the opponent's half. Their ability to hold up the ball under pressure and lay it off accurately is central to initiating further attacks or escaping pressing situations.
