The football technique

Football technique is the set of movements with or without the ball that are carried out during a match, in which the first objective is possession of the ball, the second defense and reconquest of the ball.

The basic technique consists of 6 fundamentals:

1) domination of the ball
2) kick of the ball
3) guiding the ball
4) reception (stop)
5) header
6) throw-in

The individual tactic or technique applied is the practical application of the basic technique with the aim of executing the useful and effective movement in the contingent moment.

Individual tactics include two stages:

a) ball possession phase
b) phase of non-possession of the ball

PRINCIPLES OF TECHNIQUE APPLIED IN THE BALL POSSESSION PHASE:

unmarking
control and defense of the ball
ride
feint and dribbling
iro in goal

PRINCIPLES OF TECHNIQUE APPLIED IN THE PHASE OF NOT POSSESSION OF THE BALL:

position on the field
marking
interception
contrast
defense of the door

Anyone who is unable to kick the ball, stop it, hit it with the head, etc. cannot be a football player.
To learn football technique it is necessary to repeat a series of technical elements many times, until you are able to execute them to perfection.

Football tactics can be both collective and individual. The first is a "coordinated action between two or more players aimed at achieving a previously determined goal. The individual tactics is characterized by all those tricks and movements by which our performance is useful and economic. The tactic must be performed with autonomy from each player: everyone is responsible for what they do, taking into account the movements of others.
Technique and tactics are two absolutely indivisible things, in the sense that without the first there cannot be the second.

TECHNICAL FEATURES OF THE IDEAL FOOTBALL PLAYER

precise technique;
high speed of execution;
repeated speed of travel;
rapid and varied tactical decision-making skills.

The task of the football coach is to accustom their players to have sufficient decision-making autonomy, improving playing times: time of marking or unmarking, time of serving, time of passage, etc.

In individual tactics, in possession of the ball the player must know how to unmark, how to protect the ball, how to pass, receive and guide the ball, how to shoot at goal. In the non-possession phase it is important to take a correct position on the field, to mark, anticipate and defend the goal.

"Dictionary" Of Football

Evacuation: free yourself towards the light area (area where you can receive the ball)
Defending the ball: putting the body to protect the ball
Receiving the ball: it is necessary to go against the ball, for example at the point where balls arrive from above
Pass the ball: this fundamental fast allows me to overtake more opponents than guiding the ball, resulting in lower energy consumption and less risk
Balance: maintaining the possibility of mutual coverage in all circumstances
Game strategy: choice to be implemented in view of the race
Pressing: collective tactic aimed at regaining the ball
Pressure: individual tactic with the aim of limiting time and space for the opponent's ball owner
Crosses: individual tactical actions without the ball, with changes of position through cross races between two teammates. It is mainly used in the attack phase to free up spaces.
Overlaps: Runs behind a teammate to whom the ball has been transmitted, overtaking him in an attempt to gain space forward or numerical superiority.
Possession of the ball: action by which an attempt is made to clear the spaces of the opponents. It is implemented by trying to make the ball run across the entire width of the field.
Support (or support): going to support a teammate who is in possession of the ball, in order to carry out possession of the ball or attack action.

Non-possession phase:

Taking stance: taking a position diagonally to the position of the ball; go back to the door
Man marking: the position is determined by the opponent
Zone marking: the position depends on the ball

Staggering: players must form triangles with each other
Penetration: depth, verticalization. In this case it is necessary to arrive as soon as possible near the opponents' penalty area
Width: create useful spaces and open the "mesh" of the opposing defense
Creation of space: it is dictated by the movements of individuals
Unpredictability: every situation must be made unpredictable
When not in possession of the ball we must arrange ourselves in such a way as to tighten the free field to the opponents as much as possible.
Delaying action: intervening to alter the playing times of the opponents, making the opposing team waste time in depth, or limiting the playing time. A "delaying action" can be implemented through delaying, pressing or offside.
When not in possession of the ball, the defense must be positioned in such a way as to defend the dangerous area of the pitch (the one in front of the goal). In this regard it is necessary not to be attracted by the ball, but to defend the spaces in front of our goal.
