The Raumdeuter literally translated German means ‘space investigator’. His main role is to find pokcets of space in which to operate. Essentially a wide poacher, the Raumdeuter takes up seemingly harmless positions out wide, waiting for the opportune moment to burst through the defensive line for that telling shot or cross
　　He is difficult for defenders to pick up as he will drift from his assigned position looking for any opportunity to exploit. This can result in quiet periods, during which the Raumdeuter may neglect his defensive duties, therefore adequate cover and a strong team shape are key in order to fully utilise his attacking prowess in the final third.
