1-It is not good for the striker to be alone in the
penalty area when attacking. Because striker, who is in the middle of centre-backs,
has difficulty in finding movement space for himself, so it is important to
increase the number of strikers while attacking. The first option is for an
attacking midfielder or winger to enter the penalty area. As this player
approaches to the penalty area, striker moves away from that player to the
other area and there are 2 players in the box.
2-The second option can give better results against
teams that do not prefer a defensive midfielder. Because this tactic is caused
by the mobility in front of the penalty area. Striker comes back, and when centre-backs
follow him in front of the penalty area, the wingers or attacking midfielders
run into the penalty area. During that attack, the defenders have a difficult
job as the players running into the penalty area who start to play like strikers.
Because it is not easy to take precautions against players from 2 different
regions at the same time.
3-The centre forward moves towards the wings. If the centre-back
who is far from striker tries to approach him, there will be only 1 fullback
defending the other wing and the side of the penalty area. If the other winger
and attacking midfielder move towards the fullback, they gain the upper hand.
Even if this fullback realizes the situation and tries to defend 1 player, he
cannot control the movements of the other player.
4-The last tactic is risky. It requires a centre-back
and wing-back to be successful in attack and the other players behind these two
players to be very careful. Because when they lose the ball, the defence is
weak and since these 2 players go forward, it is imperative that the defenders
make extra defence.
When the game is stuck in a certain area, the opposing
team focuses on that area to increase the pressure and win the ball. Forwards
also go to that area and increase the options of the player who has the ball.
In the meantime, the wing-back and centre-back move towards the area where the
defence is weak. If you can send the ball to those players, you are more likely
to score.
