The game of football can be divided, split, and broken down into many elements. But as a team, there are certain passages of play you will always encounter.
In this video, we will explain the 10 categories of phases of play; In-possession, out of possession, transitions, and set-pieces.
Explained by Eric Laurie. Illustrated by Philippe Fenner.

I'd love to see more videos explaining these basic terms and concepts in more depth. I'm new to soccer, and have been watching a lot of this channel and Tifo IRL in an effort to piece together an understanding of the "tactics" and "systems" that the pundits are always talking about.

@theportugueselegend 2 года назад

Cool! I hope you succeed at that, it's a beautiful game. But the first step is actually to stop calling it "soccer", and start calling it football

@adahobbs6479 2 года назад

Hi mate, read Allen Wade principles of team play, 1998. It is a very well respected book that explores the foundations on which a team is constructed. It is perfect for beginners, allowing you to do get to grips with the basic principles of football and providing a springboard to learn more intricate concepts.

As someone who’s team is struggling badly playing a 2-2-2 in 7 aside Could you do some basic tactics or formations for small sided games

@christopherbryan1512 2 года назад

struggled with that formation as well. 3-2-1 did better for us with a regista at the middle of 3atb. 2 mids playing destroyer-creator combo (sometimes both box-to-box in tougher games). with me playing as a pressing 9. sometimes we play 3-1-2 with a tall striker besides me because to think of it i fit the werner role

C´mon guys. The three offensive phases are not decided by the balls position on the pitch, but the balls position compared to the defending teams pres. Phase 1: When then ball is in front of the first defensive pressing line. Phase 2: When the ball is in front of the second defensive pressing line. Phase 3: When the ball is in front of the third defensive pressing line (or behind it) But else good stuff you guys are making.
