Individual Defending Tactics – Italian Style

This Teaching Method has been Developed in
the Youth and Academies of the Italian Serie ‘A'

Marking, tackling, intercepting/anticipating, positioning and defending the goal are fundamental elements in the modern game of football.

The Italian Style coaches present more than 40 technical exercises and game situations for the physical and mental development of young soccer players.

The exercises focus on the defensive phase, with the primary objective to develop the tactical awareness and abilities of the defenders, who are more and more scarce in the modern game of soccer.

These exercises are based on the training methodology used at Italian Serie ‘A’ professional clubs to develop their academy players to highly skilled and tactical astute level.

The organization of the work is divided in two macro sections:

Improvement of the fundamentals of individual tactical abilities

  1. Marking/positioning
  2. Defending the goal
  3. Tackling
  4. Anticipation/Intercepting
 

Development of Coordination Abilities using 1v1 Sistuations

  1. Balance
  2. Differentiation and rhythmisation skills
  3. Motor reaction
  4. Motor combination

Runtime: 65 minutes
Region: PAL Version - Region Free, works on ALL standalone Region Free DVD players, PC's and MAC's
Age Group suitable for: from age U10+.

Great Concepts May 20, 2013
Reviewer: Andrew Leal from London, England United Kingdom  
Individual defending is a concept that is not often covered. This DVD gives the basic concepts and how youth footballers should go about learning this trait.

Solid Foundation April 27, 2013
Reviewer: David Brown from Tincan Island, Lagos Nigeria  
This video makes the art of defending look so easy. Would definitely recommend it as I have used it to improve my individual defender's abilities. They have more confidence now and are much harder to crack during games.

Italians do it best June 10, 2011
Reviewer: Branko from Malta  
For quite some time I was searching different football filosophies, and my concluson is that when it comes to defending, Italians do it best. This DVD offers very good examples on how to develop individual defensive skills, and the one I like the most is MARKING. In today's game all the game situations are decided in 1v1 situations, and the team that wins most of this situations will definetly be the winning side.
Highly recomended
