When to try and disposes the attacker
This one is when to go for the ball and try to disposes the attacker. Usually coaches and other players say delay and just don't let the attacker shoot. When people say this they mean when you're the last man between the attacker and goalkeeper. In that situation it is wise to delay and wait for everyone to come back into defensive position behind the ball. What about when your teammates are already behind you?.
In this situation you can afford to step up and get close to the attacker to disposes him by stealing the ball of him. Even if you mess up and he gets past you, your teammates are there behind you and can prevent him from doing anything more.
If you are close to your own 18yrd box it would be better to not attempt a crazy tackle and rather force the player back. if you foul him there it would be a dangerous opportunity for your opponents to score.
That's it
Good strategy.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if other player is experienced, can he take advantage of this thinking. He knows you are alone, so you will not go for the risky tackle, so he will keep pushing you back. Just a thought..
