Game system 1 -4 -4 -2 on line

Ten field players and a goalkeeper are positioned on a field. The players are placed in four lines according to their position (goalkeeper / defense / midfield / storm).

The basic formation corresponds to the 4-4-2 line-up. The first line is the goalkeeper. The second line formation is the four defense chain, the third the midfield chain and the fourth line the striker pair. If the own team has possession of 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 can always be played 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 the middle wing with two defensive midfielders in the half positions and two outer midfielder players as well as with two attackers. If the opponent has possession of the ball, the team moves within the defensive network in the 4-4-2 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 four defenders, the four midfielders and the two strikers are all on the same level. They form three 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 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.
