Progression

Create space and numerical advantage to progress in the pitch;​

Attack direct opponent and goal​;

1. After ball recovery, player must face the goal​.
2. Without opposition, progress to goal and shoot.​
3. If a defender stops this action, pass the ball to attacker in best position to progress toward goal.

Offensive Cover

Support player with ball;​

Ensure defensive balance if team loses ball;​​

1. Position behind or sideways to player with ball​.
2. Do not allow defender to cut passing lane.​

Space

Rational structure of collective offensive actions to ensure amplitude (width & depth) to attack​;​

1. Behaviour diversity.
2. Support player with ball.​

3. Mainly looking for:
Position diversity​;
Use free space​;
Create passing lanes​;
Keep possession;

Movement off the ball;

Mobility​

Break and unbalance opponent defensive structure​;​

All individual and collective behaviours that can create:​
Width​​;
Depth;

Strategy​;
Game understanding​;

Delay

Stop counter-attack;​

Stop attack​;

Time to organize defence / Wait for help for a teammate;

Mark player with ball:​
1. Closest defender approach player with ball as fast as possible.​
2. Keep distance and adjust speed to react to player with ball action.
​ 3. After control player with ball, try to lead him outside or toward another defender.​
4. When opportunity arises try to tackle, force him to turn and do not allow him to face goal again.

Defensive Cover

Support defender marking player with ball;​

1. Aware of second attacker move and adjust position accordingly;​
2. Approach attacker if he moves toward player with ball;
3. Delay if first defender is passed by;

Rational structure of defensive actions, adapting defence spread:​
Width​;
Depth;

Individual:​
Defender must position between opponent and goal, on ball’s side;
​

Collective:​
Compact in ball’s zone, adjusting width and depth;
Several defensive lines;
Balance width and depth;
Use off side;
Closer to the goal, decrease space between;
