2. ReadingSoccer History
Soccer is one of the worlds most popular sports, with approximately 250
million players in over 200 countries. It is also the most-watched sport on TV,
with an audience in the billions.
An ancestor of soccer was played
in ancient China, beginning around 300
BC. The sport was called cuju(kick-ball)
and was used as fitness training for the
military as well as for
entertainment. Cuju flourished during the
Song Dynasty, when clubs and leagues
with professional players were formed.
In Europe, a violent form of soccer was
played during the Middle Ages. It was
a chaotic game with an unlimited number of players on each team, resulting in
many injuries and even deaths. In 1314, the sport was banned by royal law in
London.
Modern soccer developed in England in the 19th century, when rules were
established to standardize the various types of soccer played in school and
university clubs. FIFA was founded in 1904 to oversee international competitions
such as the World Cup, the first of which was held in Uruguay in 1930.
Nowadays, there are also regional soccer championships on every continent

Soccer Strategy for Offense
The team that has possession of the soccer ball is on the offense. When on
offense a soccer team may take a number of different tactics or strategies
depending on which players are in the game at the time and on the skill level and
type of the players.
One general strategy of offensive play that all soccer players should
employ is Passing and Moving. This means that you should never just stand still
on offense. Whenever a player has the ball, they need to either pass the ball or
dribble. Just standing still is a sure way to lose possession. This also applies to
any offensive player near the player with the ball. They should always be moving
and looking for an opening and providing passing lanes for their teammate.
Another good strategy is to pass the ball and then move quickly to another
open space closer to the goal. By continuing to move and create passing lanes, the
defense can be put at a disadvantage.
Another good offensive soccer strategy is to Switch the Attack. This is a
long pass to another area of the field that has less defenders. It may be backwards
towards ones own goal or all the way across the field. This gives the offense a
chance to re-group and form a new attack on goal.
Some offensive soccer teams will play Possession Ball. This is when the
team tries to keep possession of the ball for a long period of time. They may pass
the ball backwards side-to-side with no real apparent attack. This can be a good
strategy at periods over a long soccer game. Passing the ball takes much less effort
than dribbling or chasing the ball. The defensive soccer team will use much more
energy to try and chase the ball down than the offensive team will passing the ball
around. This can also be a good soccer strategy when the offensive team has a
good lead and wants to take some time off the clock.

When playing on offense, there are certain other key skills and times
during the game that any team should be ready for and have a strategy. These
include:
Throw-ins: Throw-ins seem like a small part of the game. You just pick up the
ball and throw it back in. However, there are lots of throw-ins during a game and
they should not be taken too lightly. Consistently getting a good throw-in to set up
the next play can be key in keeping possession of the ball. Players that can throw
the ball far can be valuable in certain areas of the field and can even set up goal
scoring plays.
Goal kicks: Similar to throw-ins, goal kicks don't seem that important to many
soccer players, but since there are many during a game, the coach should have a
few different strategies on how and where to place the kick depending on thegame situation.
Corner kicks: Most teams practice corner kicks and have a couple of defined
plays. Corner's are one of the best scoring opportunities in a soccer game. There is
usually a player that kicks the corner best from the left side and another from the
right side. Depending on the defense, kicking the ball high and long or short can
be the best play. Often goals are scored via headers off the kick, so there should
be some tall players that can jump and head the ball well charging toward the
kick. However, rebounds off defenders or the goalie is another great scoring
chance, so a player or two that comes in late looking for the rebound is also a
good strategy.
Task:
Af ter you read the text above, as a coach share your off ense strategy of
soccer by discussing on front of class!

Soccer Strategy for Defense
The team that does not have possession of the ball is the defense. Good
team defense is essential to winning any soccer game. Defense is not just the
goalie's job, but the job off all eleven players.
A good defensive soccer team will learn to communicate and form walls
of defense against the offense. A player or two should always remain between the
ball and the goal. Other players should be covering the other offensive players to
make sure that they can't get open for a short goal shot. This is often called
"marking".It is a good idea for defenders to force the player with the ball towards the
sidelines. By playing the right angle and turning the body, the defensive player
can guide or channel the offensive player to the sidelines. This makes it hard for
the offense to get off a good shot or get a good angle for a pass. It can also cause
them to lose the soccer ball over the sideline and, therefore, get the possession
back.
Some teams have a player they call the sweeper. This is a defensive player
that positions in the center of the soccer field usually a bit deeper than the rest of
the defense. The sweeper roams the backfield looking to steal or "sweep" any
balls that get through the defense.
Defenses can also trap the player with the ball with two players preventing
them from getting off a pass and stealing the ball. This can be a risky but
rewarding play.
Defenses should take advantage of the soccer offside rule. By coordinating
the last line of defense and keeping track of the offensive player's locations, a
defense can trap a player offsides and cause a turnover of the ball.

Defensive
LiberoThe Sweeper orlibero(Italian:free) is
a more versatile type of defender that
"sweeps up" the ball if the opponent
manages to breach the defensive line.
Their position is rather more fluid than
other defenders who mark their

designated opponents. Sweepers are usually faster than that of the other players on
the team, and are built slightly smaller than the others. The sweeper's ability to
read the game is even more vital than for a centre-back.[16]
The catenaccio systemof play, used in Italian football in the 1960s, notably employed a defensive libero.
StopperStoppers are physically skilled defenders who rely on their strength, stamina and
man marking abilities to be able to stop (hence the name) the opposition's
attacking play by making strong tackles. Stoppers usually play as centre-backs or
as defensive full-back.
WingbacksThe wingback is a defender stationed on the flank with heavy emphasis on attack
and defense. The name is a portmanteau of "winger" (see below) and "full-back".As the role combines that of the winger and the full-back, wing-backs need to be
blessed with good stamina. As they have the support of three centre-backs, they
are expected to concentrate more on providing support for strikers while
concentrating on their defensive duties.
Question:
1. How is the player criteria that suitable as a sweeper?2. May a stopper be out of defense line to help the offense line?3.
How does a wingback play his role based on your opinion as a coach?

Midfield
Ball winnersA ball winner is a technically skilled player at making strong tackles, ball winners
have to be good at tackling and they can also be good at heading as it can stop the
opposing team's attacking play. Ball winners are usually defensive midfielders or
central midfielders but can also play as defenders.
Defensive midf ielders
Defensive midfielders
are midfielders that
focus mainly on
defense. They need
strength to make strong
tackles and they also
need stamina and some
degree of passing skill
as they need to support
other midfielders.
Box to boxBox to box midfielders
help with almost every
aspect of the game.
They need immense
stamina as they need to
cover most areas of the
pitch, as well as some
degree of passingskills. They normally
play as central
midfielders but some
play as defensive or
attacking, and others
can also play on the
flanks as wing-backs or wide midfielders.

Pull s wide ri ght/leftThese are wide midfielders that have pace and/or dribbling ability to be able to
beat defenders along the flank. Their most important skill is to be able to cross theball in to the penalty box to create opportunities for strikers.
PlaymakerPlaymakers are midfielders with good on-the-ball control and good passing ability
but also good off-the-ball ability to be able to read the game and to seek goal-
scoring opportunities. Playmakers usually play as attacking midfielders, but some
play as defensive or central midfielders (deep-lying playmakers). Some also play
on the flank usually on their weaker side as that gives them the opportunity to cut
infield.
Task:
Based on your experience as a coach, wr ite down on a sheet of paper
about what cr iteria player should have to be a midf ielder!
