Game system 1 - 4 - 5 - 1

The 4-5-1 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. In this 4-5-1 system presented here, the midfielders are arranged in a V-shape on the field. The individual team parts are indicated in lines. The first line is the goalkeeper. The second line is the chain of four, the third line of the defensive, the fourth the two midfielders in the half field, the fifth line the two outer midfielders and the sixth line of the strikers. 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. The field players should take advantage of the width and depth of the entire playing field if they have the ball. This system is played with two central defenders, two full-backs in the back row, in midfield with a central defensive and two midfielders in half positions as well as with two outer mid-league players and a central top. If you have your own ball, depending on the interpretation, a staggering of three to five attacking players gives you a sufficient number of play options near the dangerous area. If the opponent has the ball, the team moves within the defensive network in the 4-5-1 (4-1-2-2-1) 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 are on line, the defensive central one on a line, the midfielder in the half field on one line, the outer midfielder form a line and the central striker as well. This creates five lines of defense, which can shrink to three lines depending on the staggering. 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 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.
