To Play the game well, You gotta enjoy it first and here are some tips to play and enjoy
Goalkeeping

G1.Watch the ball always.
Even if the ball is with your player or their player…. Any of them can deflect or shoot the ball into goal, so watch the ball.

G2.Be relaxed and keep exercising, do exercise / yoga when the ball is in their half
Keeps you agile and refreshes you at the same time…. Now don’t say how can that be possible, just do it……

G3. But as soon as ball enters your half,follow the ball and see their players who are coming with the ball
try shifting your position according to catch the rhythm of their team to aniticipate where they will hit…..

G4.Always keep one or two or more defenders in shouting vicinity
and try to advice them from behind “ whom to cover, which hole to plug”
defenders whole effort should be, do not let any of their player come to take a direct shoot at goal and goalkeeper should guide them accordingly.

Goalkeeper should continue guiding defenders even if the defenders do not listen to him initially….Afterall it the defender who has to take a line call… whether to move left or right
and goalkeeper is only a advisor till the trust builds up.

Defenders

D1. Play fair or atleast try to …. and try to avoid touching body of their players…..

D2.Ball is coming your way to attack, it has to go back in opposite direction or out of field…

D3. If u are unable at that time to do that, well try to stall the attackers… so that other defenders can run back and take positions.

D4. Well what if their player is good dribbler and ball goes under your legs….. now… what else… try to stop their player from getting the ball
One more time to make it more understandable

D5. Do not the ball go past you.If ball goes, do not let the player get past you or vice versa
D6.If both go, run after them…. Bhagam bhag and catch one of them midway to your goal or stall them…
D7. As you are defending, you should have the counterattack strategy in mind,if defenders get a easy ball ( no attacker pursuing him or pushing down his neck), he should lazily plan to run with the ball himself or quickly pass on to a midfielder, forward of your team.

Midfielders and Playmakers

MP1. Well run with attack forward so that a stalled forward can pass the ball to you and you score (advance) yourself or pass it on to forward in best position to advance more forward or score goals.

MP2. Well occasionally, run backwards and defend

MP3. Actively Wait for a solid defender to pass the ball to you…. So that you can pass it on a advancing forward or advance yourself

Forwards
F1. What to say, you can do all that defenders, playmakers and goalkeepers are doing in your own style…….
F2. At the same time, forwards are the attacking wolves…. So move in pairs, triplets or more…try to build a rhythm with other players so that you get the desired results…..

Asking for Pass for all players
A1. Try not to ask for a pass but actively ask for pass when you are in a better position to advance the team forward
A2. Well if you are not in a better position to move forward with the ball,bhago tau,till you are in a better position and then… ask for a pass or wait for a pass….and then Lazy shoot… tak tak tak…

But play as fair as possible……Winning and losing is nothing…there are times u win and at times other team loses
enjoy the game as you play……….
To be continued and improved upon……Some more….Though it is important where you play but most important is how with your own actions, words and deeds and passes…..you lift the whole team up for greater fulfillment and enjoyment.
