Maldini once famously said "If I have to make a slide tackle I've already made a mistake" therefore I'd say from my experience is first principal of defending is intercepting the attackers thoughts by positioning yourself well as a defender to nullify the attackers options.

[@dalsongput]

@@mavado9281 i had a personal problem with this cuz im fat😂😂 but i got better because if you lure them to one side especially in hs, most dont have skill so if you know they’ll run down the sideline cuz thats where u want them to go, u can start running before and then stay same speed, or either ur a bit behind depending on when u start and how much faster they are compared to you

It's not always the case. There are cases where defenders intends to delay but instead opponents will be looking for the best opportunity to pass or shot .

[@frenki425]

Very rare in academy level. Players want to prove their worth and cant really do so if they give up the ball be it recovered ball from opponent or pass. As a defender its easier to shine in academy level, shit gets tricky when you turn pro, opponent doesnt care if he takes the initiative himself or passes the ball he gets his salary either way lol

[@lok_sabha]

I've seen a lot of goals scored from trying to delay. The defender delays and goes backwards and the attackers moves forward and instead of trying to take him on shoots and it's a goal in most cases bar the deflections and saves.

[@Falllll]

Yeah honestly the other thing that should be mentioned here is taking away options. You try to force someone to take shots from poorer angles, to cut off their ability to cross or to force them to pass rather than have a shot themselves. Rather than delay, what I was always taught was "contain."

[@revolvency]

This basic defending is a must know, later you can get more instructions after you got your role in defending (stopper, sweeper, or others)

First principle of defending is being in good enough shape to defend

[@jal9181]

Poking is the key to destroy or slow down the opponent. Poking straight away works 90%success. Most of professional players don’t even focus on this. They just keep running backward when the opponent keep going forward to pass the defender or player.

Exactly. The coach's tactics are like the Red Coats in the American Revolution, whining about how the the Americans aren't fighting and dying the dignified death of a gentleman.

Simple principles are the best. Deny space. Delay Opponent. Deflect away from Goal. Don’t dive in, stand up in your tackles, go to ground as a last resort.

[@Sportscenter24]

Reason why Maldinin said each time i slide tackle i already made a mistake. Sums up what the coach is saying. Good advice 👏👏👏

Vidic knows all about defending caz he the best in the world 🌎

[@CesarMartinez-nu3if]

I always like to relax, please relax and train speed, if you have some good acceleration and they know it, they’ll be insecure to make a move, when going against really good forwards, they’re so quick to react to the slightest move since it’s instinct to them, I use my athleticism to the fullest, reading a player is everything, also most forwards don’t expect you to just rush them and get in their face, so most of the time you can buy a lot of time or they just freeze

[@zulkiflisaadon4064]

My experience as a defender what I do is simple, when the opponent comes close don't go in...just back off and think in my head left or right repeatedly. Let him make the first move with one step before you enter. Because the attacker's movement is usually only two left or right side of you

[@ibecomplex]

The kid that said pull him is alright in my book

[@emilioossa163]

as a striker is make sense to delay the attack, we are the first line of defense. Depends on us if we press up or down.

[@wagfinpis]

The less difference there is between attacking and defending in your game the more efficient you are. When the other team has the ball you should be trying to control the ball.

[@alonfuchs4912]

thanks so much this really helped me i play in a team and i started this year with no football knowledge and even tho im really short and skinny for some reason my new manager plays me CB and i dont like it but i have to fight and learn for me and the team so i have to be smart and this video really helped me TY

[@daigohayden89]

I think i just learnt new things today. Tq.

[@babibau2781]

Pull him!! Kid gonna be great 👍👍👍

[@nimascolari1508]

First principal of defending is anticipated positioning. 2nd is controlling the tempo, slowing down or speeding up the attacker to put him in a position where he's doubled up. 3rd is the standing tackle. 4th is slid tackle. 5th is the professional foul. So, the trainee was right. Even if it's a red card but prevents a goal.

[@brodobroggins]

“Last resort is slide tackle” Sergio Ramos: 👁👄👁

[@brexistentialism7628]

Another tip: offer the attacking player one side to go through (given you are not outnumbered).
