the offense

an ideal defense is the one that can

neutralize

an opponent's attack without committing

a foul

when analyzing what defense is we have

to consider

that the attack is the one taking the

action and the defense

is reacting so a good defense must be

able to decrease the attacker's

advantage

defensive actions performed by a futsal

team are used with the object of

regaining

the possession of the ball avoiding an

attack

and protecting their own rule all these

actions must be performed

with great technique and precision as a

single wrong

movement can compromise the outcome of a

game

so let's check out these tips all right

this first situation here we're gonna be

discussing

the situation the game is very common

it's a one-on-one defensive

and the players coming on account attack

on high speed

all right so the player right now it's

dab it stopped

but in this situation it's going to be

moving towards me as a defender i'm

trying to be as efficient as i can be

and slow down that player in order for

my teammates

to come back i just don't want to attack

and get dribble or otherwise i won't

have anybody behind remember

the offensive player is the one that

have the action you don't want to take

the action

i'm the one reacting so for me my

reaction has to be very efficient

and so for me to have a successful

defensive all right so i'm going to give

you some tips here

the first one the players is on the side

here like he is

i cannot be with my feet flat all right

that's very bad

if i'm defending especially with younger

kids they don't understand this we have

to make sure they what

they're sideways defending right

you feel this side left foot in the

front if i'm the opposite side

right foot in the front why this

situation here they go is on that side

i want to force the player to go like to

my side

to the outside if i stay in the middle

flat or if i put my right foot in the

front what am i giving that player

the option to go to go that's bad we

don't want that so we have to force the

players to do what

immediately not flat left foot in the

front and forcing the player

to go to the side once the player goes

to the side i'm long i have an advantage

over that player

another thing if i'm standing

sideways i cannot be using the space

there if i give too much space i'm

sideways like this but i'm still giving

if it takes a touch for me it's even

harder than if i'm flat

because now i have to change my whole

body to follow that player

so what i have to do instead i'm locking

the middle here

right in front of the goal i cannot be

too much if i'm too much while i'm

giving

the player a shot or the way to go on

this side i don't want to do that

i wanna close the middle and force the

player to go to the side

my knees they have to be flexed all

right you cannot be standing i cannot be

defending like this yet

all right if i'm doing like this i'm

probably not going to be as successful

successful as if i'm bending my knees

wide

it's flexed i'm giving an explosion if

i'm down here as a techno touch i can

explode myself

and follow that player whatever it goes

i'm bending my knees to try to

explode remember we're reacting so we

have to be ready whatever happens we

have to

get as fast as you can to defend that

ball

the other thing we have to do if the

player if i'm defending

that players coming on a high speed

robot if he's coming on a high speed

if i'm just going at him without

stopping what's gonna happen if he takes

a touch and dribbles me

there's nothing else i can do all right

so we have to make sure the players

understand or yourself understand that

once you're going towards the play on

the one-on-one nobody's behind i have to

do it

once i get close i have to stop now i'm

trying to slow down this player

as much as i can in order for my

teammates to get back if i keep coming

back

keep coming back and i see i'm getting

too close to the goal

to the seat what do i have to do i have

to take an action all right

i have to force that player to lose the

possession or to take the ball to the

side i cannot get it

let it be too close to the goal that has

to be very effective for you to

understand but you have to use up

checking your shoulders or somebody else

telling you you have to do remember that

you're just trying to slow down the

flare because it's a kind of attacking

situation

all right you know the player's not that

it's just you against the plan there's

nobody behind it so it's very important

for you to understand

this step to make this more effective

and advantageous for you

fine this second situation is still a

1v1

defensive but instead of a player coming

on a count attack the player is

standing still most likely in this

situation is when all the other players

all his teammates and my

my teammates are behind our line and i'm

the first one here

a couple important things for you to

realize the distance that i am for that

player

i don't want to be too close defending

that play if i'm too close what's

happening

i'm getting too easy for him the metal

or decides to dribble

right very important for you to

understand

a good tip for you when you're defending

if you're taking a distance you don't

want to attack that player

what you can do to realize what he's

going to do it's to look

into the player's eyes i most people

know never heard of this before

it's very important for you to see it

you can't not know what's behind you

because you kept

be checking your shoulders if i'm

defending if i decide to check my

shoulders

i'm giving the player the space if i

play smart dance i'm going

if he's smart enough to take that action

when i'm not looking at it

he's beating me right so what i have to

do to either

block what he's trying to do or most

likely try to intercept the pass

i'm looking to his eyes i can see if

he's looking to decide

what i'm gonna do all right once he's

trying to take a pass you already know

most likely what he's probably gonna do

well first of all every time he's gonna

do the same

some players they fake they're gonna do

that and they don't actually do whatever

but ideally that's your only way to help

you is to look at the player's eyes

to see what that player is looking at to

try to understand what is processing

what is he planning on doing

another thing if you defend it here if

i'm just in my leg

straight up what's happening i'm giving

space i'm trying to increase my

space here to defend as much as i can if

i'm like this for me it's hard

to react so i'm opening my legs but the

ball can go through my legs here

oh the ball can go there if i want to

intercept the pants

what do i will do if i'm defending as

the player is ready to make an action

i'll go down and i'll try to do this

here just like both do it because i'm

freezing

make space here all right from that

point if the player try to come here

i'm interested from this side the ball

doesn't go through my legs most likely

and it doesn't come here because it's

gonna hit my foot the same thing it

happens

a lot on the side you're on the side

here immediately as i'm doing this

i block this side here up fast i'm over

here

if you try to come here that's what is

intercepting

this is either for tackling that player

or also for intercepting the pass you

can use that

that's these two tips are very important

when you defend it on one-on-one

when the player is bad now let's say for

instance

that player they can't do anything so

the player turns and starts shielding

if i'm a defender if i'm just doing this

behind the player

most likely if you play against two

players you're not going to be able to

get the ball from that player

very unlikely foots are here the player

has a control on his foot

so there's nothing i can do to take the

ball from him and remember

the glute defense is the one that you're

effectively defending without pulling a

foul

so i would try to do it father as a

shielding i'll try to do a step back

give him this face once that player

turns then i will try to

take the ball from that player all right

but you don't have to force it to play a

shielding

don't even worry when i'm playing when i

see some of my top players playing

what i do they come close instead of

doing that they just give one step

let the player face them then you have

advantage because the player's turn

there's nothing you can do they can do

nothing and you can do nothing most like

what they're gonna be able to do is

to use your body all right the same

thing if you're a fixer you're playing

against the people

let's say about the people here he's

receiving a pass

let's say receive a passion in front of

me if he's receiving a pass

he's there sometimes what fricks was

trying to do is what to close that

player

there are some people they are really

good in turning

using your opponent's body to help you

if you play against a really tall people

that's good

that player's gonna hold the ball he's

gonna use the hands and he's gonna know

where you are

it's too easy to turn on you in this

third situation here i'm gonna give us

some tips is

in a situation where your team's

defending but yourself

you're not you don't have the ball

because you're the defensive you are not

defending someone that has the ball

but instead you defend someone who

doesn't have the ball so now we have an

extra player on the side here

we would have one defender here i'll be

the second one very important if i'm a

defender

i have my teammate that defending that

player my body posture

is very important here for me not to

concede any splits all right

i don't want about to go through the

metal if i just step

flat for me if the ball goes there it's

harder for me to

to third what i'm trying to do instead

the same thing

i'm not doing this now i'm not doing

this

because my left foot is in the front if

you pass it's harder for me to react

if i was defending here this player then

i'll try to do our

force the player out but i'm not this

player now this player is here

i'm the second player most likely the

allah that's next to that player

my posture is the opposite my right foot

is in the front because i'm getting

ready for what

to defend that player and at the same

time i don't want this place to come

here

all right so it's very important for you

to realize and especially talk to your

little kids

instead of just being flat looking at

the player and looking at the ball here

i'm doing what i have to be worried

about the ball and the player all right

dangerous

is that player i'm helping that player

to cover but my my my objective

is to defend that player so i'm bending

down first in the middle once

that pass goes there then i can step and

the same thing

now my right foot is in the front i'm

forcing that player down now if i'm here

the same would do my teammate

he would drop the same and then he'll

have to do what if there's a defender

there

i'm an allah i'm doing the same left

foot in the front

facing that player and facing the ball

so i can see it i don't want to do this

as soon as i do this and it's lightest

moment that plays more that balls goes

through

for me it's harder right so it's very

important for you to

teach the players or for yourself to

understand that position that'll be most

effective for you when you're defending

remember there is no secret recipe for a

perfect defense

each player has their own preferences

and these tips

are just to give another perspective and

idea how to improve their individual

defense

i hope they're useful to you or to your

club and i'll catch you guys in the next
