   ‘Wing’ is an important position in soccer.  It is basically placed on the side, opening up opportunities.  Until the 1990s, ‘classic winger’ was considered a textbook.  He uses his speed and dribbling to penetrate the opponent's flank and then throws a sharp cross to help the center forward score.  This is the main mission of the ‘classic winger’. As soccer evolved, the main position, wing, also evolved.  The 'classic winger' gradually decreased and the wing forward concept took root.  The so-called ‘opposite footed winger’ was dominant.  For the ‘classic winger’, getting a cross was the most important thing.  The right wing had to use the right foot well, and the left wing had to use the left foot well.  Then, the number of wings using the opposite foot based on the direction of attack gradually increased. Known as ‘inside cutters’ and ‘wing forwards’, they have changed the flow of soccer archetypes and tactics with their fearso...
