The game follows the rules of football, but with major differences. Each team is made up of only six players: a goalkeeper, two defenders, a midfielder and two attackers. There can be no offside, as fouls are not punished, so tackling a player is the easiest way to regain the ball. If a player is knocked down too many times, he loses consciousness and remains lying on the ground until the end of the period of play, or may get up on his own on rare occasions. During the game, the player controls a single character, but can in return give instructions to his teammates, so that they recover the ball or make a pass. To this rather unrealistic gameplay, we can also mention the fact that players can use a special kick or header five times per half, which can be used as soon as the player does a bicycle or a head dive the first, or that he hits the ball with momentum.
