16 The formation

17 Rationale In the formation there are 3 lines with a balanced spread of players over the field ( triangles of players) which creates good conditions for: effective positional play playing out of the back combination play / short passing game creative and varied attacking play using the width of the field early disturbution and pressuring after losing possession For players, the positions and the attached basic tasks are logical and recognizable, which makes learning to play as a team easier to develop The SSG formats 7 v 7 (-3-3) and 9 v 9 (-3-2-3) lead up to the formation in a logical and methodical manner 7

18 Basic forms The formation has 2 basic forms, with a number of derived (offensive or defensive) variations:. The midfield triangle with the point (no.0) forward. 2. The midfield triangle with the point (no.6) to the rear. 8

19 3 8 Click to edit 6 Master text styles Basic Form : "point" (no.0) forward 2 7 9

20 3 Click to edit 6 Master text styles Basic Form 2: "point" (no.6) to the rear

21 General defensive principles. Direct transition of all players 2. Restore formation (no mixing of the lines) 3. Make team compact: short distances between lines and players 4. Zone defending: everyone responsible for own zone 5. Pressurized defending by the whole team, forcing the opponent to play wide or back or lose the ball 6. Players to always coach the players in front of them (help your team mate) 2

22 Defenders & Goalkeeper ( ) Always maintain the structure / organisation of the defensive line and keep opponent away from your own goal (communication) Defensive principles per line Everyone is responsible for their own zone so:. Horizontal take over: pass players on in case of switching opponents (width of pitch) 2. Vertical take over: pass players on in case of overlapping opponents (length of pitch) Cover each other (diagonal covering), full backs to squeeze until maximum 5m. area; goalkeeper to act as sweeper if required Sharpness, mobility and insight (positioning / timing) are absolute requirements for modern central defenders. Modern full backs need to be fast, explosive and mobile. 22

27 Defensive principles per line Midfield (4 8 0) pointed forward: No s 4 & 8 Cover the central and lateral defensive midfield area s. Screen / shield the lines to the strikers Take over positions, fill gaps and stay behind the ball Second (at least one of level both). Ball winners with strong tactical awareness / No. 0 insight. Connects with no.6 & no.8 to form a block in the midfield Covers the central offensive midfield area. Supports no.9 in pressuring the opponents central defenders

28 Defensive principles per line Midfield pointed to the rear: No. 4 Covers the central defensive midfield area. Screens / shields the line to the strikers. Takes Second over positions, fill levelgaps and always stays behind the ball. Ball Third winner level with strong tactical awareness / insight, on field leadership. No s 8 & Connect with no.6 to form a block in the midfield. Cover the lateral midfield area s. Technical and tactical all round midfielders that are able to cover large spaces

29 Attackers (7-9-) Immediate transition from back pressure to forward pressure (especially important for attackers! Defensive principles per line Connect to the midfield ASAP. Work together as a unit (communication!) Squeeze and delay opponents playing out in a 3 v 4 situation while making play predictable by showing them to a flank. Start pressuring collectively on the signal as (one of) the Strikers starts closing down. Prevent opponent from playing a forward pass where possible, otherwise always force opponent to give the forward pass under pressure. Prevent defenders from moving into the midfield Take over each others positions / tasks if necessary 29 2

36 . Immediate and quick transition of despersal by all players, open up and spread wide/deep. 2. Always look for a forward pass as first option, if not possible: 3. Play out through good positioning play with dynamic participation of all players General offensive principles 4. Ball possession is of vital importance in order to control the rhythm / speed of the game and feed the attackers in a structured manner 5. Mixture of improvisation and individual actions with dinamic combination play in the attacking third 6. Recognizing the value of set-piece specialists 36

37 The defenders: Playing out is a means to establishing possession! The purpose is to go forward while keeping possession! This requires dynamic participation of all players, good positioning play and fast and precise passing: Offensive principles per line. Create the right moment for the forward pass or: 2. Have a defender move into midfield to create an extra player in the midfield The goalkeeper must be the th outfield player while playing out! (fast switches of play; recognizing the right moment to play the forward pass; etc.) If the opponent uses a formation with 2 strikers the emphasis is placed on building up through the full backs (central defenders to create space) If the opponent plays with 3 strikers the emphasis is on building up through central defenders (full backs to create space) 37

43 Offensive principles per line Midfield pointed forward: No s. 4 & 8: Progress playing out from the defensive /3 to attacking /3 (Link Back to Front) Connect and support the attacking unit Excellent passing skills, vision and ball control are required. No.0 (key player in this formation): attacking midfielder good Third interaction level with the strikers (especialy with no. 9) penetrate in the pocket and look for scoring Fifth chances level good anticipation and decision making good tactical insight, technique and ball control. In this formation no s. 7 & are more traditional wingers making attacking moves in wide areas and providing assists plus crosses. They can come inside but needs to be well timed, not closing the spaces for no.0. (Robben, Giggs, Beckham)

44 Offensive principles per line Midfield pointed to the rear: No. 4 is the controlling midfielder. He/she always has to stay behind the ball and take over the positions of the players that go forward. No.6 also holds a key role in playing out and is a player with a strong overall game (passing) skills and vision. No s 8 & 0 feed and support the strikers. They Third have strong level individual skills, vision and ball control. They provide the assists for the strikers and have goalscoring abilities. These are the complete midfielders In this formation no s. 7 & are multi functional attackers making attacking moves to the inside (and outside) starting from wide positions. The 3 attackers often switch positions but the formation should always be maintained

45 The attackers (7 9 ) Wing attackers No s. 7 & : starting from wide positions going outside and inside are creative and pro active (with the ball and running off the ball) provide assists, crosses and have goal scoring ability Central striker No. 9: strong in receiving and holding the ball with his / her back to the goal strong in attacking combinations Dinamic on/off the ball goal scorer Offensive principles per line Important collective aspects in the attacking third: Fast / direct combinations (wall-pass; no look pass; 3 rd man; etc.) Individual attacking qualities and ability to improvise Effective positioning in front of goal Finishing efficiency 45
