[@krishnaseegoolam8743]

Another way to defend blindside runs is to read the direction of the ball and intercept the ball. Van Dijk sometimes uses this technique but when he fails to intercept the ball, he is in great trouble. There is a very good sayings: when you are a defender, you either let the ball pass you or the attacker pass you but never both else you have failed as a defender.

[@BajaToxic]

I think blindside runner are player that capitalize on defender mistake.If you look all the goal,most of the defender cant intercept the ball.

[@krishnaseegoolam8743]

@@BajaToxic Of course as an attacker, you have to be optimistic and hope that the defender cannot intercept the ball or make a mistake. But you cannot be sure that this will happen. There are as many as cases where the defenders intercept the ball as many as the goal ore scored. The few clips shown in the video shown in the video does not mean that blindside runs are always successful or they are always nightmare for defenders.

For a tap in you need to have a really good positioning.

The player with the assist must be aware of your possible runs as well. You can't get to the ball if he or she just blindly cross or pass the ball without a sense of where you could have get to. That's why training with teammates is important to build chemistry.

Gnarby's goal for Germany against Netherlands was a great example of the blindside run fooling Van Dijk. He ran on his shoulder, around him and then out-sprinting him for the ball as VVD didn't think Gnarby was already past him by the time he turned.

Best Ways to Beat Blindsided runs! The defender who is close to the attacker should focus on the ball to defend it. Other defender should mark other attackers tightly by seeing from your shoulders or back side.

[@anmol3457]

That's untrue.

[@sakuragi_hanamichi3263]

Can't the defender focus more on marking the striker instead of being so focused on the ball unless he is going to intercept it?

[@footballophileinaeternum5344]

*But doesn't coordinated man-marking eliminate this to a large extent?*

[@majinfad]

But then why didn't the captain or goalkeeper or other teammates see or communicate to their defenders about the dangers? I can visualize oliver kahn or peter schmeichel screaming at their defenders for this kind of things

[@parrotbrand2782]

Good concept but it works well when forwards have team mates who knows how to make perfect passes. Won't work if you have team mates that cannot pass into the space. You end up doing many pointless blind side runs. The skill to pass properly is harder to learn than to score the goal.

[@ibnurivaldy8072]

Dude chill. they are getting fucked every week. They are conceding over 40 goals on an average for the past 6 seasons in la liga and 1.2 per match in both league and all competitions this season. I am no so sure about Varane. But Ramos is a blind dog when it comes to defending blind side runs. He only relies on his height and weight advantage in those situations. He is too far from being one of the best defenders.

[@EshanKokiloo]

Van Dijk checks his shoulder twice in the build up to that Ritchie cross. His positioning essentially forces the attacker to move away from the goal making the threat less dangerous. Due to his height the crosser has to whip the ball high as a result it is more difficult for the attacker to get the ball down especially since its whipped in with decent power. I understand the point you are trying to put through but please use a legit example. Thank You.
