Game system 1- 4 -4 -1 -1

The 4-4-1-1 system initially only defines 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 formation is the four defense chain, the third the midfield chain, the fourth the hanging top and the fifth line the striker pair. 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 is about 20 meters away from the defense chain and is always playable as a kind of libero. The individual field player chains have a distance of 8-12 meters in length to the next chain and between 7-12 meters to the next player in width. In this system you play with two central defenders, two full-backs in the back row, in midfield with two defensive midfielders in the half positions and two outer midfielder, as well as a hanging and a low tip. If the opponent has the ball, the team moves within the defensive network in the 4-4-1-1 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 four defenders as well as the four midfielders, the hanging top and the central striker are spread over several lines. They form 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 parts of the team can vary due to an unsteady game speed, changes in the game situation or due to a temporary outnumbered 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 direct 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.
