Question 11

for invasion/ evasion games, describe how you would create space…

Answer 11

attack principles: creating space
formation: 4-4-2 in soccer
- allows for creating space as the wings are utilised
- the players can hold width, stay well forward or back
- defence is spread
this provides opportunities to switch angle of attack, as there are many spaces to attack through

Question 12

for invasion/ evasion games, describe the defence principle of depth
(getting AS many players between the ball and goal to protect the goal)

Answer 12

formation: 5-3-2 or 5-4-1(better)
aim: to limit the amount of space between the opposition can move through
- good for defenders to spread bc defenders in a line is easy to pass
