Playing system:
People often talk about 1:4:2:3:1, 1:4:3:3 or 1:4:4:2 formations. Each

tactical system of play and its associated positional system have his
advantage and disadvantage.
The important thing is that each player must be familiar with

the task he has to carry out in his given position.
It is important that each player are aware of his objectives (what is

expected of him in his position) and how they are to be realised in the
context of the:
- team as a whole,
- the lines that make up the team and
- the individuals who make up the lines .

Physical data in international football

Ball possession and ball progression

Attacking play:
• Possession is advantage
• Positional play is the first and most important element of successful

attacking
• Trend to play in possession, top teams take the initiative and dominate
the game.
• The best teams in the world play on the average 500 passes per
game.
• Ball possession and number of passes does not guarantee victory!
• Youth level – performance is as important as result

Attacking play:
• Keep the ball on the ground as much as possible depending on the

game situation
• Make the playing field as big as possible when in possession
• Start build up from defensive third
• Circulate the ball to prepare for penetration
• Change and rotate positions
• Exploit space by intelligent running off the ball
• Be creative in the right situations
• Win offensive 1v1 situations

Here is a quote from Pep Guardiola about possession at

Barcelona:
“What I learned here is everything starts with the ball

and ends with the ball.
Sometimes we forget that it’s a game of 11v11 with
ONE ball. We try to keep this ball, we try to play with
the ball; we try to make everything with the ball.
This is what we learn when we start as boy here.”
CF drops to create overload

Fast transition
”Transition is the most important aspect in

modern football – this means fast organisation in
defence after losing the ball, or a surprise attack
with tempo by opposite team after winning the
ball!”
José Mourinho
Transitions are a decisive factor in modern football. If the opponent is set

up defensively it’s very difficult and even almost impossible to score a
goal. The chances of being successful or deciding the match are the
highest on winning the ball, or even better, before.
On the other hand you have to react immediately on losing the ball! The
quality of a good team is shown by how quick it reacts after losing the
ball. The player next to the ball becomes a defender, he immediately puts
pressure on or delays the play so that his team can reorganise
defensively!
The players have to learn to read the game. It’s all about transitions. On
losing the ball you have to run the shortest way back into formation or
zone (also taking position of others = principle of the shortest way,
minimise time for organisation), or look for tackles to win back the ball:
Fast transition from defense to offense (1st action):
• Vertical pass (as deep as possible)!

• Vertical solodribbling!
• Diagonal pass for getting space away from the pressure of the opponent!
• Back pass for security!
• Freeing – gain time, fortune!
Fast transition from offense to defense:
• Offensive defending after losing ball (Pressing) and close the possible
vertical passing lines!
• Team organisation (block) in the next playing zone!
• “Go back“ and organise a deeper defending block!
• Deep organisation in front of the penalty area!
Prof. Memmert:
Conclusions:
 The behavior in the game against the ball is decisive in terms of

the number of goal chances in the game!
 More sprinting means, the ball can be more often recaptured and
you will get more chances to score!
Defense
Defense:
 Top teams have an above average goalie
 Back four is standard
 All players are participating in the defensive play (principles, block, physis,…)
 Central midfielder (number 6) also determine the team's behavior in the defensive
 A compact center as a tactical principle
 Team mentality
Defensive organisation:
• Make the playing field as small as possible when opponent in

possession
• Moving to the ball in formation is a standard

• Practice block mobility

• Where do you start team defending ?

• Centre of defense – centre backs stay in the centre!
Example: Italy


• Apply immediate pressure upon losing possession

• Win defensive1v1 situations

Set pieces
