Player Typesĭifferent players perform different playing methods to different levels and they also perform in different ways. Application of Defensive Dynamicsĭefensive methods enable a team to apply the defensive dynamics. Application of Attacking DynamicsĪttacking methods enable a team to apply the attacking dynamics. Tactical Risk Levelsĭifferent playing methods carry different levels of tactical risk. They therefore enable a team to apply the tactical dynamics.Īttacking methods are the playing methods that a team can utilise in the attacking phases and defensive methods are the playing methods that a team can utilise in the defensive phases. Playing methods are the specific means of using space and techniques for using space that can be utilised by a team. Playing PositionsĪ player’s playing position is his initial reference point for positioning himself relative to his teammates. Defensive Dynamicsĭefensive dynamics are tactical dynamics that underlie how space can be used by a team in the defensive phases. Attacking DynamicsĪttacking dynamics are tactical dynamics that underlie how space can be used by a team in the attacking phases. They are tactical shape, which relates to the positioning of a team’s players, player movement, which relates to the movement of a team’s players, and ball movement, which relates to the movement of the ball by a team’s players. The primary tactical dynamics are the three distinct tactical dynamics that all other tactical dynamics are derived from. Tactical dynamics are the fundamental concepts that underlie how space can be used by a team. Use of SpaceĪ team attempts to achieve its tactical objectives through the use of space. However, taking on a higher level of tactical risk can help a team to achieve the other primary tactical objective of scoring a goal.Īttacking risk is tactical risk in the attacking phases and defensive risk is tactical risk in the defensive phases. The level of tactical risk associated with a team’s action, decision or situation refers to its potential to result in the team failing to achieve the primary tactical objective of preventing the opposition team scoring a goal. The primary tactical objectives are strongly related to the concept of tactical risk. Defensive ObjectivesĪ team’s defensive objectives are the tactical objectives that it has in the defensive phases. Attacking ObjectivesĪ team’s attacking objectives are the tactical objectives that it has in the attacking phases. At any given time the team that has possession can be referred to as the attacking team and the team that does not have possession can be referred to as the defending team. When a team has possession it is in the attacking phases and when a team does not have possession it is in the defensive phases. This results in the phases of play, which are discussed further in the Tactical Organisation guide. Possession changes from one team to the other throughout a match as each team succeeds and fails in its attempts to achieve these conflicting tactical objectives. In particular, if a team has possession then it should attempt to keep possession and if it does not have possession then it should attempt to win possession. A team has possession if its players as a whole have control of the ball, and the particular player on that team who has control of the ball, if any, at any given time is referred to as being on the ball, while other players on the team are referred to as being off the ball. Having possession means having control of the ball. The immediate relevance of most of a team’s tactical objectives depend on whether it has possession. All other tactical objectives that a team has should help it to achieve one or both of the primary tactical objectives. The primary tactical objectives are to score a goal and to prevent the opposition team scoring a goal. This can be broken down into two primary tactical objectives that a team typically has, to varying extents, at any point during a match. Tactical ObjectivesĪ team’s tactical objectives are the aims that it has during a match.Ī team’s core tactical objective is typically to score more goals than the opposition team. A team implements a tactic using a playing system (also known as a system of play) and this influences its playing style (also known as a style of play). Dimensions of space include vertical space (between the two goal-lines), horizontal space (between the two touchlines) and aerial space (above the pitch).Ī team’s tactic is a strategic plan that the team has for trying to achieve its tactical objectives through the use of space.Ī tactic can be analysed in terms of a playing system and a playing style. Tactical theory in football is all about space – the areas on and above the football pitch.
