In my teams, the goalie is the first attacker, and the striker the first defender.

Playing against 10 is harder than playing against 11 players. You know why? The team with 11 will think ok, we can take it easy now, while the team with 10 will think We really have to work hard now.

Every advantage has its disadvantage.
