Game system 1-2-6-2 as 1-2-3-3-2

The 2-6-2 system or 2-3-3-2 initially defines only the number of field players in the individual team parts. The goalkeeper is initially excluded from this counting method in the exercise title. The individual team parts are indicated in lines. The first line is the goalkeeper. The second line is the two-back chain, the third line the three defensive midfielders, the fourth the three offensive midfielders and the fifth line the striker duo. If the own team has the ball, the goalkeeper moves between his goal and the middle of his own half of the field, so that he has a distance of approx. 20 meters to the defense chain and is always playable as a kind of libero and can intervene in the back of the defense with long balls. In this system, two central defenders are used in the back row, three defensive midfielders, three more offensive midfielders and two peaks. If you have the ball, the staggering of five attacking players means that you have a large number of play options near the goal-threatening area. If the opponent has possession of the ball, the team moves within the defensive network in the 2-3-3-2 line formation on an area of ​​maximum 35 x 35 meters. The defensive formation is characterized in your starting position by a line positioning of the individual team parts. That the two defenders are on line, the three defensive and offensive midfielders and the two strikers as well. This creates four lines of defense. It is important to keep certain distances between each other, which ensures optimal defense of your own goal. These distances are usually as follows: 7-12 meters wide and 8-15 meters deep. The distances between the individual players and team parts can vary due to an inconsistent game pace, changes in the game situation or due to a temporary short game. In the team alliance, a compact, disciplined shift is aimed at, with the aim of narrowing the spaces and thus not allowing the opponent to pass into the depth on the one hand, and depriving him of the opportunity to start individual actions on the other. One of the most important tactical duel measures is to steer the ball-carrying player onto the outside lane and to get possession of the ball by double, and to direct the opening of the opposing team to the outside players by shifting the pass routes so that the only possible pass left is the middle one. There the player is then doubled and put under massive pressure.
