amancik, I think you're confusing "forward" with "striker". The two are not necessarily the same; ie, all strikers are "forwards", but not all forwards are strikers.

Ji-Sung Park has a similar position to Ronaldinho. Technically speaking, the two occupy midfield positions (usu. in the hole)...one doesn't have to be a striker to be considered a "forward".

If I'm explaining this wrong (I probably am), anyone can feel free to correct me... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)
