the art of defending is to delay the opposition to buy time for your teammates to help out while also recognizing where the space is and communicating with your teammates to block out passing lanes. it's a team's game for a reason🎯

Which is why the concept of the best player awards is bogus. Every one functions in a team in their own roles and that makes a su.ccessful team. There has never been any one man team

It's called timing, it slows down the enemy attack and also gives teammates the time to reposition 👍

I agree. But delaying also gives the attacker space and time. You are also not forcing the attacker to make a decision or putting pressure on the ball since you are waiting for attacker to make the move. This would not be the best defensive play if the attacker is intending to make a pass or waiting on their teammate to make a run. So depending on where you are on the field and where other players are sometimes the defender has to commit and force the attacker to make a play as oppose to waiting for the attacker to make a move.

When the momentum is with their team, your team is out of their defensive shape, throw ins are pretty understandable and let's be real at non professional levels, most of the game is the ball going outside

where physicality at? the goal or before?

Thats the most effective way

Back then when I played in a U11 academy for indiana (I’m 13 now) I used to do tackles too early which either lead to a goal conceded or a free chance for them

The attacker dribbled to the direction where the defenders body was facing, making it easy for the defender to reach the ball. If you wanna dribble past smart defenders like the last defender you should dribble to the direction where the defenders back is facing.

A fake press is what I usually do , I pretend I’m about to lunge in and they usually take a touch out of pressure and usually won’t be as controlled thus leading to a mistake , I don’t see anyone doing this though

Thanks a lot

This is the basics of defending. Unless it’s against a really really fast player, but in most cases you’ll eventually figure out their strong foot, and jockey them to that side, or you’ll push them to the sideline which is much better than letting them in the middle. Also when you go for tackles make sure it’s before they receive the ball, or when jockeying they make a touch too far for their legs to potentially reach and turn for in another direction. But defending really is about waiting for the right moment when you consider the striker is usually at advantage in 1v1 situations. Also learning to get teammates to make 1v1 situations into 2v1 situations is extremely helpful.

All about the little jump forward and back while doing this to fake the attacker that you’ve dived in by the time he has touched the ball to go past you it’s too later your already back in the right position and have easily enough time to get between ball and man

I've been doing the standing tackle a lot and it actually helps me a lot

Good advice

The last defender is like Mbappe brother, Ethan Mbappe.

I’m not an expert, but for me the slow thing doesn’t work in a 2v1 etc and you just sometimes have to make the slide or tackle to get him to go in the space where your teammates are

Bro the art of defending is incredible just not slide tackles all the time

Hes also shielding the goal there

I only commit early when I’m letting the opposition know I’m there early

Lol, these are just different styles. 1. Makes it fast. Low chance to win a ball. But makes an opponent move/give pass. Works best, when a teammate helps you. It is called PRESSURE. It is to be MASTERED. 2. Slow, be sure. It is for slowpokes. When you are last defender. Much eaisier to do.

@@vision3691 thanks. You’d better have a good stamina, so you can attack 24/7 with style #1. (From pitch to pitch skill). Also what is bad in this style: it is quite aggressive. So, you may foul. Mind this. If you got tired: better go to defense and use style #2, but it is more about chess, not football. Personally for me it is boring. Use style #2, untill you rested enough (normally you get tired only after hard accelerations and resting takes no more than 25 secs). Than switch to style #1 again. P. S. Sometimes you can even steal a ball from ~3 opponents, who think you are alone (when lazy teammates don’t help you) and they can pass all day long and you won’t be able even to touch the ball. In reality: 95% mistake after ~5 one-touch passes. All you have is to run 🏃. And switch directions. (You may show you run straight to opponent, but suddenly you accelerate to a player he gonna pass to, so, here you start the panic). Good luck 👍🍀. Where you from?

Can't remember but there was a good three step process, think it's was delay cover pressure. Closest delays till the other players are marked by the closest man then pressuring, forcing you to either pass to a covered man or dribble into a shepherded disadvantageous area. Learn to defend as a team(line) and your realize the importance of teamwork and that you don't need to be 10/10 individually all the time

I slide tackled my friend so hard in school football he had to go to the hospital💀

East or west slide is the best

Thanks bro ❤

true but sometimes u have to lunge in

It’s called go for the ball not the player

Slowly go backwards and take advantage of the strikers mistake

Forward went the wrong way. Basically ran into the defender

Learn to virgil

When he slides we can also jump over the defender

Thank you, bro

I do this on fifa all the time and my mates always complain that I only tackle when they get into my third of the pitch but I just tell them positioning over pressure all day 😂

your first job as a defender is to delay, delay, delay

I’ve been doing this for a while, it doesn’t always work and I always get shout at by my teammates for doing it

ima send this ti my defenders as a goal keeper

Defenders largely rely on waiting and pouncing in the attackers' decisions. The defender can only control so many options and your have to narrow down the attackers options - never show them the inside, block passing lanes, recognize space and opportunities, avoid over commiting, and MOST IMPORTANTLY - communicate with rest of defense on what "options" needs to be shut down.

This helps me on FIFA.⚽🎮

2nd one wanted his leg not the ball 💀💀💀

Thankyou

See my coach would get mad bc I would wait

Never try to get past a player in first touch when a defender is delaying and tracking back ,instead draw him into challenge make a feint change of direction , with speed ,than try to get past him..

Didn't knew I was doing it right i thought I just didn't wanna run😮

But when i do this the player passes to his teamate

Real defenders will feint this early and string the attacker along into going exactly where they want.

This is also called a jockey

Use faints, especially if you’re quick with you feet. Did American football + track which helped me out a lottttttt when defending in football. Get comfortable with shifting your body to different positions so you don’t get caught off guard and know when to bite

This is my problem when 2 against me idk when to commit

keep in mind the black shirts are the train effective academy

200 IQ I'm watching this as an attacker

Actually the 2nd one is too late as the attacker didn’t touch the ball to get past and tackles from behind usually win the ball against an average player so in conclusion if your defender is defending and delaying you should tackle from the side.

You should keep the same distance until he steps up and when he steps up tackle him

That’s called stabbing into the ball

I tried this and pulled him into the goal box and let him score 💀(I know it's crazy)

Thx bro! This really helps me with sliding tackles!

Trent caught in 4k📸

Messi said NO 😂

Thay is what i do.

Yeah but if you delay delay delay delay and they get a shot off its like why aren't you pressing him

It's fun until the opponent is Mbappe

I would defened the correct way in middle school. However, I go to a school that is crazy about American football, and the soccer coaches have no idea what they are doing. So, they would always yell at me to "pressure" the ball amd immediately challenge. Now I suck. To make matters worse, every player on my team acknowledged me as the best defender by far. At the end of the year, the "Best defensive player" award went to someone who own goaled in the last minute of a sectional playoff game to equalize... 5 years later and I no longer play the sport.

When I do this my teammate scream at me to mark the striker. I know what I’m doing for godsake.
