What is Tactics in Soccer?
Soccer tactics refer to the set of plans and strategies put in place by the coach to organize the team's play on the field. It involves determining how the team should position itself, attack, defend, and move based on the opponent's strengths and weaknesses. Tactics directly influence how players interact with each other, how they manage phases of play, and how they respond to unforeseen situations during a match.
What are the Tactical Aspects in Soccer?
Soccer tactics involve several fundamental aspects that influence the course of a match. These aspects concern both collective organization and specific tasks assigned to each player.
Formations
Specific Roles and Positions of Players
Pressing and the Block
Offensive and Defensive Transitions
Managing Set Pieces
What Tactical Soccer Drills to Implement in Training?
- Positional Games: The positional game called Rondo is a classic exercise that helps work on positional play and pressing. In this exercise, a group of players forms a circle or square, while 2 or 3 players stand in the middle. The objective is to circulate the ball quickly without being intercepted. This helps work on one-touch play, game vision, and the ability to move without the ball.
- Pressing and Block Drills: A useful drill for working on pressing and defensive organization is small-sided games with pressing instructions. For example, divide the team into two and have one group press high while the other tries to escape the pressure. This workshop helps work on both ball recovery and breaking the press, two crucial aspects in a match.
- Transition Drills: Transitions can be worked on with counterattack drills. For example, in a situational game (5 vs 5), when a team recovers the ball, it must quickly move forward to attack a small goal within 10 seconds. This type of workshop helps players react quickly during transitions.
- Set Piece Simulations: A good way to prepare your team to manage set pieces is to set up real-condition simulations. For example, during a specific session, the team can work on different types of corners, both offensively and defensively, simulating match pressure. The same goes for free kicks, where each player must know their role.
- Small-Sided Games to Work on Game Patterns: Small-sided games (3 vs 3, 5 vs 5, etc.) allow working on tactical patterns and decision-making in a confined space. By limiting the number of players and the playing area, situations are created where tactical choices become crucial to succeed in progressing or defending.
Tactics in Soccer, a Determining Work
Whether through small-sided games, rondos, or pressing exercises, each tactical workshop contributes to making your team more organized and more efficient.
