Thing you should keep in mind
There is a fix name for every position but if that position changes then the name of the position will also changed but the words "short" or "long" adds with it. When a player is standing near the pitch or around the 30 yard circle so the position will called "Short" and if the player is standing far from pitch or around the boundary lines so it will called "Long". For instance, if a player is in "Third man" position and if the player comes near to circle but in same line will become "Short third man". If a player is in "Cover" but if he goes to far from pitch in the same line of original position it will be "Deep cover". If the player changes the position a little bit around the original position, the name will also changes which you can see in image. For ex- Extra cover, Deep extra cover, Deep square leg.
