Small Sided Game defending in the opponents half-Part two

Karibu dear soccer fan, as promised yesterday,today I will highlight the second option in coaching your team how to defend on opponents half.

Starting position: Goal Keeper ball out to full back.

Striker bend run, prevent turn, nick ball or force inside to supporting striker. If effective the ball usually goes back to keeper, so kill off his passing space if practical. Look at covering players reacting to position of ball and squeezing play, then position of your keeper.

or

Start Position: Goal Keeper to midfielder.

Your mid fielder apply pressure and prevent turn, nick ball or force direction while one striker supports / tackles from behind or bends run to where mid fielder is forcing him, other striker positions to cut out back pass to full back or goal keeper. Again look at remaining players and keeper positions.

you may also start from any position: Ball from any player out to wide forward and much of the same.

Key coaching Factors:-

Pressure (bend run, while ball is moving, slow down, keep arms length).

Prevent turn, nick ball or force inside.

Support (angles & distance).

Cover (balance / shape / compactness).

Keeper position.

Make play predictable.

Squeeze play when ball played backwards.

If a player can't get close to pressurise, kill off passing space.

Make sure you work both sides of the team (right & left).

Get in, coaching formula, get out.
Don't forget free play.
Don't forget the Goal Keeper.
If the team you are coaching loses the ball high up the pitch, you might have the opportunity to try and include recovery runs as well.

Dar Young Africans Vs Simba Sports club

Tommorow (saturday 31/10/2009) is one of the big days in Tanzanian Soccer. Tanzania's soccer giants Yanga (young Africans) and Simba will clash at the National stadium in Dar es Salaam. The match is expected to attract many spectators than usual, we expect revenue collections to be high. Actually we look forward to watching this big event. In the midst of expectation I can not stop myself from wondering what actually will happen tommorow. I wish to very advanced soccer tactics from the big teams, I wish to hear from TFF that they have collected as much as they expected as gate collection, I wish to see fair officiating of the match. I wish to mature and fair behavior from fans, i wish for a lot good things to happen. But I know one thing for sure: It is possible that I wont see any of my wishes coming true. It is possible to hear from TFF saying that they run deficit from the match collection. We may end up seeing the usual none fair play game from players, players from each team m...

PURPOSE OF DIFFERENT TACTICAL EXERCISES IN SOCCER

Dear readers I would like to take this opportunity to appologize for not updating information on this site for such long time. Today I just want to highlight purposes for some tactical exercises 2v1 ONE ACTS, ONE SUPPORTS, IN ATTACK OR WHEN DEFENDING. IN ATTACK, PLAYER WITH THE BALL COMMITS THE LONE DEFENDER THEN EITHER GOES PAST THEM OR PASSES TO THE SECOND ATTACKER. IN DEFENSE, NEAREST CHALLENGES, THE OTHER COVERS 3v1 IN DEFENSE, ONE CHALLENGES, ONE COVERS, THE THIRD BALANCES IN ATTACK, ONE COMMITS AN OPPONENT, ONE POSITIONS TO RECIEVE A POSSIBLE PASS, THE THIRD MAKES AN ATTACK RUN 4v2 DEFENDING - IS ABOUT THE 2 WORKING AS A PAIR TO CUT DOWN QUICKLY ANY POSSIBLE EASY SPACE FOR THE OPPONENT WITH THE BALL TO PASS TO ONE OF THE OTHER THREE ATTACKERS ATTACKING - IS ABOUT THE PLAYER WITH THE BALL HAVING THREE OPTIONS TO PASS IF THEY WISH TO (SUPPORT, PASS OPTIONS) 5v2 AS c. ONLY DEFENDING BECOMES MORE OF A POSITIONING TO FORCE THE BALL TO WHERE YOU CAN ATTACK IT FOT ATTACKING ITS ABOU...
