MODULE 4.04 The stages of playing / THE STAGES OF THE GAME

Question 1

Reference is made to the concepts of distribution of functions,

balance between lines and defensive shifting.

Answer 1

Decrease the playing space in width and length

• Apply “pressure in the lateral zones”, since we count on assistance from the sidelines, and the only option is to move towards the area of pressure (reduction in width).
• “Advance with the defensive line to the midfield line”, and achieve a good balance between lines (reduction in length).
• Apply the tactical resource of “offside” (reduction in length).

Creation of numerical superiority around the player in

possession of the ball

• Pressure on the possible receivers: this way we can anticipate and do not have to run after the ball.

Role and responsibility of the players furthest from the ball

• Neutralize the space between lines and the opponents within it.
