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🎯

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

[Ayhan]

As much as he has flaws, Virgil Van Dijk is the master of delaying the situation.

Also tip from someone who’s played defender all his life and his main strength is tackles - avoid going into tackles when the player has the ball glued to his feet

Also tip: Go for tackles when the player takes a big touch or commits

I know that tactic cause of Virgil van dijk so I started doing it which I prevented 9 goals in 8 match which won us 9-2 8 assists 1 goal 9 tackles

[georgeleach]

Also got to make sure to not let them back you down all the way to your goal. That’s where physicality comes in

[Tomtheguy]

I’m astonished I did that when I was 5 in school football everyone told me to commit when I knew I shouldn’t of luckily I didn’t

[vietduong]

A way to counter this is a feint and attacking their weak side

[Tambien]

You can also pump fake the tackle if you have nice distance and force the defender to make his move too early

I got a funny story last night I had a dream I was watching a train effective short titles "best names to give to your future children of you want them to become a pro footballer" I guess ive been watching so much of this channel its gotten to my subconscious lol

Defending is simple and it’s almost all body positioning, just get your body in the way and make them go round or through you.

Same as hold up play and keeping the ball, just get your body in the way.

[salescatalyst]

I actually learnt this through experience. 👍

[royeltea]

This is what i do, but a problem of mine is i do make alot of tackles and save the team alot, but most of my tackles go out for throw ins or corners

[csha]

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

[ndarrowhunter]

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.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a master at this.

That lad with the lunge ended up in a different post code 😅
