The Word for Mad Cows vs. Libertas Bisenzio's match (again, from the ("selfish") defense perspective this time) you can find below.
Best ways how NOT to allow goals in our box:
1.
Eliminate the danger BEFORE the shot is taken - mainly, with the right
choice of your position. If position
is not so good or you've been a bit too late to take it, then play with
body = again, it is not always crucial to obtain the ball when in
defense. Sometimes it is enough if you do not allow the opponent to
obtain it = danger eliminated anyway and ball is safely
recovered by other our player or by the goalie.
2. During the process of the shot being taken. Painful one, I know. Or, on the edge of foul, if you are pushing
the opponent. But sometimes helps.
3. Save by the goalie. This is the least favorable option. And for that, as always - visibility, visibility,
visibility! And particularly in tense angolo situation(s), ESPECIALLY if they are several in the row!!!
Remember
that goalie has the best position around 1,5 m from the goal line. If
closer, will react but that
will be too late. Thus, if you all simultaneously come closer and
closer to our box, I have to step back accordingly. If you push me too
much back towards the goalie line, I'm quite useless there, if frankly,
can as well just go and sit down in the corner
of the box, drink some whiskey there and wait till you all finish the
action = the team loses 1 player who is on the pitch theoretically but
not with a practical use + you become goalies yourself.
In
other words - be preventive, UNTIGHTEN THE IMAGINATIVE NET made around
our box, go towards opponent players
(within limits of common sense, of course – depending on the situation)
and push them away / pressure them also in defense. Thus you’ll limit
their possibilities to shoot + you’ll improve my chances to see the
ball. Because if you step back together with them,
remember – at the end of the day there are already 16 (!!!) legs,
movements of which I have to try to follow (and yes, I’m referring here
to those 6 min with 3 or 4 angolos in row in the last game’s 2nd half – I still see them in my nightmares).
Or simply ask yourself one more time – am I translucent myself? The correct answer should be – no, not yet.
