By: Arkar Minn Khant

• Only one person at a time is authorised to convey tactical instructions from the technical area

• If the ball becomes defective during a penalty kick or penalties (penalty shoot-out) as it moves forward and before it touches a player, crossbar or goalposts, the penalty kick is retaken

• If a dropped ball enters the goal without touching at least two players, play is restarted with a corner kick if it enters the team’s goal

2 things that I will apply during the game based on principles of play:

• Pressing the opponent once the ball is lost to regain possession as close to the opponents goal as possible

• Engage in quick forward passing to take advantage of the opposition’s lack of defensive organisation

1 question I would like to clarify about:

• What is the formation we play in for 7/9 a side games?

1. How to make use of space whether it be passing into space or moving into space

2. 4 areas of the foot to touch the ball with

Interested to learn:

1. How and where to position yourself in a game situation

1. Size of the pitch can vary from 100 to 110m touchlines, 64 to 75m goal line.

2. Concept of sinbins used in youth/grassroots football (10 minute exclusion from game)

3. Freekick is award if non-playing members of a team interferes with game, but only dropball is awarded if it is an outside agent

2 Things i will apply during game based on principles of play:

1. Counterpressing: press for the ball immediately after possession loss so as to win the ball higher up the pitch

2. As a centre forward you can stretch the playing area as much as possible by being further up the pitch, giving the team option to go long. Same for other wide players. Stretch the play to pull opposition out of shape.

1 Question:

How to break down a team who is sitting back and defending, only banking on counter-attacks ?

1. There is no offside for goal kick, throw in and corners

2. the shoulder is not part of a handball

3. opponents must be 9.15m away from the corner arc during corners

2 things i will apply

1. supporting teammates/ opening up for passes

2. always be moving around, can act as dummys

1 question

what is the defensive method to tiki takas? should we defend zonal or man mark

• There is no offside offence when a payer receive the ball from a throw-in or goal kick or corner kick and that if an offence is committed against a player in an offside position who is already

  playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball,

  the offside offence is penalised before the foul challenge.

• Considered handball when player touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body

  unnaturally bigger. or by positioning hand in a position risk being hit by the ball.

• Impeding the progress of an opponent by moving into the opponent’s path

  to block or slow down or force a change of direction when the ball is not near is an offense.

2 things that I will apply during the game based on principles of play:

• Delay defensive play when possession is lost by 'delaying' or slowing down the attacker while not over-committing.

• Making use of overlapping runs to create opportunities such as exploiting spaces, increase width or pulling defenders out of position so that teammates can exploit this opportunity.

1 or any question I would like to clarify or know more about:

• How do a player training their reaction timing? I always execute my actions too late during play.

• Some tips to gain more confidence during match time.

1. It was interesting to learn that there is a temporary dismissal period(sinbin) for youth, veterans, disability and grassroots football. The duration of the dismissal is between 10–15% of the

   total playing time and is signaled by the referee with a yellow card and a clear point with both hands to the temporary dismissal area.

2. If a dropped ball enters the goal without touching at least two players, play is restarted with either a goal kick if it enters the opponents’ goal or a corner kick if it enters the team’s goal.

3. There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from a goal kick, a throw-in or a corner kick.

2 things that I will apply during the game based on principles of play

1. Play with more width: After watching some of the videos I realized we don't use alot of the width available to us. Hence we should make use of this width to stretch the defense and create create space for the midfield.

2. When defending I will maintain balance in the team, by positioning myself to be able to apply quick pressure if the ball is switched to the other side of the field.

1 or any question I would like to clarify or know more about.

1. How involved should attacking players be when defending?

1. A player cannot be offside if he receives the ball directly from a goal kick, throw-in or corner kick.

2. If the ball is scored directly from a throw-in, a goal kick is awarded.

3. Any display of dissent shown towards the referee will be an automatic yellow card offence.

2 things that i will apply during the game based on principles of play:

1. When deciding to press the opponents high up the pitch, make sure to communicate with my teammates to ensure that the team presses as a cohesive unit.

2. When stuck in a tight space with limited options, use my body to shield the ball to retain possession of the ball and wait for support from my teammates.

1 question i would like to clarify:

1. As a midfield player, how to determine the right balance between going forward and staying back to fulfil your defensive duties?

1. The ball is in play at all other times when it touches a match official and when it rebounds off a goalpost, crossbar or corner flagpost and remains on the field of play.

2. Freekick is award if non-playing members of a team interferes with game, but only dropball is awarded if it is an outside agent

3. A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately played* the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent.

2 Things i will apply during game based on principles of play:

1. As my team concentrates their defense in the area of the ball, defenders (which could be me) not near the ball must position themselves to cover important spaces (normally central areas) in order to prevent attackers from making penetrating runs into these spaces.

2. Players without the ball need to keep moving to unbalance the opponent’s defense, and by making “runs” into positions that will create scoring opportunities or create space for the teammates near the ball.

1 Question:

Tips to preserve stamina and energy as a midfielder?

1. There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from a goal kick. For goal kicks, there is an added threat if the goalkeeper is able to send the ball deep into the opposition half for the striker to run onto the ball.

2. Football pitches do not have a standard size, rather there is a range of legal dimensions that it can take.

3. Goalkeepers have the option of wearing tracksuit bottoms.

2 Things I Will Apply During Game Based on Principles of Play:

1. Support. I should position myself to offer a diagonal passing option for my teammate on the ball rather than vertical and horizontal passes. Vertical passes can easily be cut out by the defender (since I am in his shadow), while horizontal passes, if intercepted, would mean that the opponent would have already beaten two players just with that one interception.

2. Cover. As my teammate pressures the opponent, I should drop deeper to serve as a backup if my teammate is beaten. This would also slow down the opponent which buys us time to reorganise our defensive structure.

1 Question:

1. How to properly execute a lob pass for the ball to fly further and higher?

1) Dimensions of the field are not fixed, but instead have a range of which they must abide by based on regulations. E.g Length of the touchline: minimum 100m (100yds) to maximum 110m (120yds)

2) There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from a goal kick, a throw-in or  a corner kick

3) For handball offences,  the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit.

·        2 things that I will apply during the game based on principles of play

1)The moment possession is lost, the nearest player should attempt to regain possession or apply pressure on the ball, which will help to delay the attack by stopping the other team from playing the ball forward quickly.

2)As a defender that is not near the ball, I must position myself to cover important central spaces in order to prevent attackers from making penetrating runs into these spaces.

·        1 or any question I would like to clarify or know more about.

1)I would like to know more about defence, when to follow the attacker and cut down his options till finally committing to a block or tackle.

2. I will press the opponent as fast as possible after possession is lost. I will try to use the byline as an imaginary defender as much as possible.

3. How can a single player control the tempo of the game?

1. A player is considered offside if they are nearer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the second-to-last defender when the ball is played to them unless they are in their half of the field or level with the second-to-last defender or level with the last two defenders

2. A goal kick is awarded to the defending team when the attacking team sends the ball over the goal line, and it is kicked from within the goal area. A corner kick is awarded to the attacking team when the defending team sends the ball over their own goal line, and it is kicked from the corner arc.

3. Fouls occur when a player commits an offense against an opponent, such as tripping, pushing, or handling the ball. It is considered handball when the player touches the ball with any part of the arm below the shoulder.

• 2 things that I will apply during the game based on principles of play:

1. As a defender, I will attempt to slow down the attacker by showing him away from the goal, and attempt to win the ball with a tackle while not over committing.

2. As an attacker, I intend to use change in direction or change of pace to evade defenders and create opportunities to advance towards the goal.

• 1 or any question I would like to clarify or know more about.

1. In a high-pressure match situation, with the opposing team employing a well-organized defense, how can I adapt my individual tactics to exploit the opponent's weaknesses and contribute to breaking down their defensive structure?

The ball is out of play when it crosses the touch line or goal line or when the referee pause the game. All other period, the ball is in play even if it hits a referee.

The dimension of the field is not fixed but varies within a range

A player is considered on the offside if he is closer to the opponent's goal (in the opponent's half of the field), the ball and the second last defender. However he does not commit an offence if he does not touch the ball and does not interfere other players in playing the ball, i.e. its ok to stand in the offside.

2 things I will apply

Try to win the ball back as close to opponent's goal as possible instead of waiting for them to come closer.

When im in space with the ball, Ill retain and run forward instead of looking for short passes.

1 Question

How do I position myself to assist with goal scoring/defending near the goal post.

• There is no standard size of the pitch but rather a range of 100 to 110m for the length and 64 to 75m for the width

• When a defensive wall is formed during a free-kick, attackers are not allowed to be within 1 yard (1 meter) of the wall. If an attacker persistently encroaches, an indirect free-kick is awarded to the defending team.

• for the matter of handball, the shoulder is not considered to be the cause of a foul

2 things that i will apply during the game based on principles of play:

• As a defender, be cautious of the imminent press once the line of players in front of me lose possession of the ball. I can get ready through body shape and moving to a position to support as well as helping myself when executing my next action

• Quick thinking is always important throughout the match so that we can utilize the space around us like the width of play and capitalizing on mistakes the opposition which opens the space

1 question i would like to clarify or know more about:

• How can i read the game better without being overwhelmed and ascertaining my next course of action?

• Temporary dismissals being a part of the game at the youth/grassroots level.

• If a named substitute starts a game without letting the referee know, no action is taken against it other than a report to the appropriate authorities

• The differences in offside signals made by the assistant referee depending on whther the offense was made in the middle, near, or far side of the pitch

2 things that I will apply during the game based on principles of play

• Maintaining width on offence. Doing so stretches the opponents and opens up passing lanes to advance into their third.

• Adopting more compactness in defence and moving as a unit. Doing so reduces the number of passing lanes and playing area that needs to be defended

1 question

• As a defender on defence, how do I know when to apply pressure on the attacker as opposed to keeping my distance from him, preventing him from running into space behind me?

1. when the goalkeeper taking a goal kick kicks it into his own goal, it is counted as a corner kick

2. no offside if throw in, corners and goal kick

3. if u show the referee dissent, it will be automatically a yellow card

2 things that i will apply during the game based on principles of play:

1. make sure i talk to my teammates to press together if we want to high press if not there will be many gaps which the opponent can exploit

2. use overloads against the opponent so that we can create more attacking chances and increase the chance of scoring a goal

1 question i would like to clarify or know more about:

1. how can i better learn to shield the ball with my body especially if there are 2 opponents on me

1) There is no offside if a player receives the ball directly from a goal kick, throw in or corner kick

2) Any display of dissent is an automatic yellow card offence

3) Football pitches do not have a standard size, rather there is a range of legal dimension

2 things that I will apply based on the principles of plays

1) Try to win back the ball as close to the opponent's goal as possible

2) When pressing the opponent, communicate with teammates to press as a cohesive unit

1 question I would like to clarify

1) How can defend against early crosses and counter attacks as a defender?

• There is always only one person who makes the decision of calling a foul in a game.

• The ball is in play until the referee blows the whistle.

• There is no offside in a throw in.

2 things that I will apply during the game.

• Forward is not the only way in a game. It is crucial for a player to know where his options are before even receiving the ball.

• I want to learn how to be compose and confident in using both my feet in shooting.

1. A player is not considered offside if the player is making the run from his own half

2. Players must have both feet on the ground while taking a throw in

3. There is no offside for throw in, goal kick and corners

2 things I will apply

1. Running into space

2. Making use of my body to shield the ball

1 Question I would like to clarify

1. How to read the game better so that I can make the best decision in the split second?

Offside Rule: when a player is in an offside position and the circumstances under which they can be penalized for being in that position

Hand ball: when players are allowed or not allowed to use their hands or arms to control the ball ( throw in / goalkeeper)

Fouls : the disciplinary actions, such as free kicks, penalties, and yellow or red cards, for various types of fouls and misconduct

2 things I will apply during the game based on principles of play.

• Staying onside as long as possible so that I can beat the defender and create a gap between the defender and myself

• Using the direct/indirect free kick rule to my advantage ( shooting when there is no wall)

  1 question I would like to know or clarify more about

2. Fouls and Misconduct: Knowing what constitutes a foul, such as tripping or pushing, and the resulting penalties.

3. Handball Rule: Learning the circumstances under which a handball is considered a violation, leading to a free kick or penalty kick for the opposing team.

2)

1. Positioning: Adjusting your position on the field to maintain proper spacing and support your teammates effectively.

2. Communication: Communicating with your teammates to coordinate movements, signal plays, and maintain awareness of the game situation.

3).

What are the advantages and disadvantages of employing a high pressing defensive strategy in football?

2.      Explain the choice of my rating:

· Coach covers most of the football tactics and techniques well (e.g. heading, passing, shooting, dribbling).

· There is a good balance of trainings/drills and game time during our weekly sessions.

· I enjoyed learning about the various 11-aside formations and how to position oneself in a football game.
