## Abilities

### Archetype

* **Goalkeeper:** are responsible for blocking the ball during penalty kicks and getting the ball out of the area of the goal and to a player on their team further down the field. They often use a dropkick to get the ball as far away from their own goal as possible. The goalie is the only player that is allowed to touch the ball with their hands while on the field and during the game.

* **Goal Poacher:** Goal poachers are forwards who wait in the six-yard box or the penalty area for a cross, pass or loose ball and pounce to try to score a goal. The "poaching" refers to the fact that they will often score a goal out of the slightest of opportunities i.e. steal a goal. Goal poachers usually play as centre forwards or second strikers.

Junjou is a player with little movement and a reactive style, remaining almost immobile regardless of the position he is placed in, which demonstrates his laziness, but also coldness in his positioning.
