Printing 2 dimensional array of pointers to structs

I have been doing homework yesterday, I have done most of it, but couldn't make the main thing. I don't know why it's not working I have asked other students, but nobody knows what's the problem. Basically this program is a small game, there are 18 players 9 on each team. the program randomly gives players coordinates and directions and they start to move. I have basically done the program, but I have problem with field, It doesn't show the players at all. I tried many things and when testing noticed that it doesn't print even testing string in the if statement I wrote. when I write this part field[i][j] = &players[k][0]; I have checked if field[i][j] really gets the x and y coordinate and yes it does. but in the print_field class it takes field[][] as null and the field is empty. players is an array of structs. field is an array of pointers that point to players or NULL.

I have tried with all of my knowledge and couldn't make any better. What is wrong with this code? Why isn't it showing the players on the field?
