34. SOCCER PROBLEMS

35. Soccer Problems We hardly have any scoring chances Forwards lose the ball too quickly Forwards receive low supply of passes from their own defenders Poor link up between the midfielders and the forwards Defensive midfielders are not delivering enough long passes Defenders are too slow in the buildup -- they do not play quickly enough

36. Defining Soccer Problems What is going wrong in relation to the plan Which players and positions are involved in the problem ? When does the problem occur ? In which part of the field does it occur ? Are the problems technical, tactical, physical or attitudinal ?

38. MATCH ANALYSIS Czech Republic vs Belarus

40. Czech Republic in Possession Buildup form keeper often through Kadlec Kadlec looked to Nemecek Use of left flank dangerous with: Smejkal, Berger, Kuka/Siegel Smejkal was a driving force Free kick to Kadlec on that side (1-0) Berger’s goal came from Kadlec to Frydek (2-0) Berger’s basic position was on the right, but often moved to the left (left-footer)

41. Czech Republic in Possession -- 2 Berger and Frydek supported strikers – lots of diagonal runs Kuka fast on the ball - stayed up (offside ?) Siegel – crossed with Kuka physically strong -- near post runs on CK Counterattack very dangerous 2 nd half – long balls, fast counterattacks through short, fast, passing moves

43. Czeck Republic After Loss of Possession Latal / Smejkal slow to transition to defense Kadlec had to cover flank several times Latal beaten for speed Nemecek (covering position) pushed out to flank -- played vs Metlicki (playmaker) Physically hard, very hard, if necessary Repka and Hapal tough defenders Good in air – get inside of their man Kadlec always covered – controlled the defense Not fast, but reads game well

44. Czech Republic After Loss of Possession Retreat to centerline and deeper Gave a way a lot of space to build up in Kuka and Siegel worked hard covering Siegel more effective defensively Frydak and Berger slow to fall back with only limited defensive qualities Latal and Smejkal covered flanks -- not always properly positioned, especially space in deep corners

45. Czech Republic After Loss of Possession Defended 10-15 meters in front of penalty area, sometimes, closer Defended compactly with 8 defenders Left a lot of space in midfield on transition Did not use offside trap (except for free kick, goal)

46. Comments and Observations About Match Tactics Very strong start by Czechs – 2 goals in first 18 min and other good chances Let the game get away a bit 2 nd half – very dangerous counterattacks Did not use numerical advantages very well Gave up too much space in midfield Nonchalant about taking chances Too little danger from corners Free kick organization just so-so

47. Game Plan and Training Ideas Restrict counterattacks to a minimum Mark strikers closely Restrict long passes to a minimum Do not concede space in corners Force left flank of Czechs to defend Spread ball during buildup Play ball quickly to midfielders

48. Game Plan Switch quickly in transition Use the available space Create 2 v 1 on the flanks Make individual runs Follow up shots on goal – Keeper rebounds ball

49. K K A A A A A B B B B AA A A A BB B B A A A B W W A A Counter attack to opponent’s left side Quick transition through the midfield Buildup from the back – across the field Restrict counter attacks and long balls Mark strikers closely
