A midfielder who arrives late into the penalty area to score. Not the same as a shadow striker who plays behind the forward - the box crasher starts deeper and times runs to arrive just as the ball comes in. Lampard was the original, but Gündoğan, Bellingham, and Rice all do it now. Getting into the box without the ball is an underrated skill.

A midfielder who covers the whole pitch, showing up in both penalty areas in the same game. They tackle in their own box and arrive in the opposition's to score. Gerrard, Lampard, Vieira, and Yaya Touré were all box-to-box players. It's a demanding role and harder to find now because midfield positions have become more specialized.

Scoring two goals in one game. The word comes from hunting, where a brace meant a pair of birds. Less celebrated than a hat-trick but still a strong individual performance. Standard term in commentary and journalism - "Kane scored a brace" is shorter than "Kane scored two."

Passing out from the back through short balls instead of going long. Usually starts with the keeper, centre-backs split wide, a midfielder drops in, and the team circulates until gaps open up. Everyone needs to be comfortable on the ball, including the keeper. Critics say it's risky when you're doing it in your own box. Fans of it say it creates better attacks and more control.
