What is delantero central?

Delantero central is a term used in football (soccer) to refer to the position of a player who plays as a central striker or forward. The role of a delantero central is to score goals and create opportunities for their team to score. They are usually the focal point of their team's attack and are known for their ability to finish well both inside and outside the penalty area.

In many teams, the delantero central works in conjunction with wingers or attacking midfielders to create chances, and they are often heavily relied upon to perform well in high-pressure situations, such as in the later stages of a cup competition or during a title-deciding match.

Some of the best-known delantero centrales in football history include greats like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Diego Maradona, and Pelé.
