Free Kicks Long Defending 3
- On this occasion the free kick is from the right flank with (A5) again the
player taking the free kick.
- Defenders will mark up as before, only first they need to ensure there is no “quick” free
kick taken from A5 to A7, and so set up a 2 against 1 situation on the right
wing against defender D5.
- So (D11) runs back to stop this happening
- This leaves (A5) with the other alternative of floating a cross into the box
aimed towards (A1), (A2), (A3) and (A10).
- IT IS IMPORTANT THE DEFENDERS ONCE AGAIN HOLD THE LINE, LEAVING SPACE BETWEEN
THEMSELVES AND THE GOALKEEPER (G). THEY MUST NOT GET TOO CLOSE TO THE GOAL.
- NEVERTHELESS DEFENDERS MARK MAN TO MAN WITH ONE SPARE IN THE CENTRAL DANGER AREA – HIS
POSITION DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE OF THE CROSS.
- D6 and D8 mark outside the box, for second phase balls should the free kick be
headed out, and so that (A8) and (A9) do not have a free shot at goal.
- IF THE BALL IS CLEARED FROM THE FREE KICK THEN ALL DEFENDERS AT THE BACK SHOULD
MOVE OUT (IN LINE) AS ONE, FORCING ATTACKERS OUT THE DANGER ZONE.
