Soccer. Pressing just after ball loss


Book Description

In the creation or development of the game models devised by the coaches, one of the options that can be taken is the pressing just after losing the ball. This type of pressure or this moment in which it is “decided” to press, is usually identified with teams that want to take the initiative in the game with the ball, and who try to recover the ball as soon as possible. We can say that the "pressing just after losing" is a way to face, as a team, the moment when we lose the ball and it is still in play, being able to be carried out by all the players, by a group of them or by a single player, depending on the game strategy and on the team's game model, and according to the objectives we want to achieve with it. It is closely related to the attack-defense transition. The pressure after loss can also be selective in terms of the places or times in which to carry it out, depending on the game model and the structures used by one team or another. There may be a team that always faces loss with a defensive fallback and only performs "pressing just after losing" if the loss occurs at the beginning of the play from their own box and with the team deployed, for example.




Neuroscience applied to soccer. Practical proposal


Book Description

To say that soccer is played with your feet, it's like thinking that chess is played with your hands. The player must be in optimal condition to compete and to perform at their best level during matches. To achieve the perfection of the game models, the coaches tend to crumble the game with principles, subprinciples, more subprinciples... that allow us to explain how our team plays, and this often causes our workouts to be lost in improving isolated technical factors, that we think are the ones that make players err. Applying the benefits of neuroscience, the indicators and stimuli that we use in the training tasks will be the own of soccer, so that there is a greater transfer. There is a very strong educational trend entrenched in these concepts and every day is reflected in the teaching of sports. But, this trend, if not interpreted well, can lead to errors and not achieve the intended results. The goal is that the training of our brain is related to soccer, and that the skills or advances that are achieved, have a direct impact on during the game. Reacting by pressing when the coach's whistle blows, seeing the red color on a paper or when the number of a mathematical operation is even, from the perspective of how he learns our brains, will not get the same benefits for the soccerer as pressing after losing the ball, after bad control of the opponent or after the opponent's arrival in a danger zone.
