How to Recognize and Recallthe effective Patterns of Play in the “Play Making Space”. (PMS)
by Shiv Jagday
Purpose of this Presentation is to develop awareness regarding;• How to read, recognize and retrieve information in a given game
situation
• Identify the effective patterns of play, in the play making space
• How to implement the concepts of width, depth & support in the play making space
• Strategy & tactics to employ
• Do’s & Don'ts
Scene 1
What: Match between Netherlands and Great Britain
Where: 2016 Rio Olympic Games Final (Women)
Game Situation: Netherlands RI has the ball in the ROQ in the Play making space
Result: Turn Over. TO.
Solution:
• Learn & Remember; How to think & play in the PMS
• Avoid unnecessary overcrowding the space
I see this game situation as a highly favorable one, with a golden opportunity, to exploit the GB defense. Please study it closely. There is ample space in the play making space for the Dutch to exploit it to their maximum advantage
• Here is where it started• Dutch LI has the ball in
the LOQ on her strong side
• She is carrying the ball at a optimum angle in
relation to the opponents & field location
• She has created positive options
• She can pass the ball to her RW / CF, if CF leads
intelligently• She decides to pass the
ball to her RI, with a negative pass. Wise move
When the point of attack is switched• It creates quality space
to make a through pass or
dodge• As the
opponents are in the process
of shifting• This space opens just for a
split second• If one does not
recognize it to take advantage
• It evaporates• Pl refer to slide
# 4 also
DO’s: • RI should sell a dummy with a body dodge that she is going
to pass the ball to the RW• RW should also take a lead - back pedal - to her side line• This will entice her marker to come with her or stay in her
zone. A dilemma• This will also add width to the attack
• CF should hold her lead & learn how to receive the ball with her face facing the opponents goal
Don’ts:• Dutch player # 18, who passed
the ball, should not cut in• Looks like she is thinking that
she is helping her team • I feel she is hurting, by bringing
a extra opponent # 8 with her and crowding the space
• Let’s see what happens
• A view of the positional play of both the teams in the PMS, from a different angle
• Instead of looking at the big picture, please zoom upon the PMS and the number of players there are
• It is basically 2 on 2 game situation, with ample space from a
offensive players point of view
• Now it is entirely a different story, how RI
and CF use it to optimize their effectiveness
What Happened• Please note the way the Dutch
CF’s lead has attracted 3 GB players
• She has also limited herself by not opening herself, to face the
goal• She could have easily pivoted,
on her left foot and opened up• After running for 8 – 10 meters,
is she in a good or bad situation?
• Poor lead / decision. Mindless moves
• Please note how the Dutch CF is circled by 5 GB
players. Team work and tactics
• Unfortunately her teammate # 16 has also put her
self in an awkward position and cannot come at her
rescue. BTW, she ran all the way from the LI’s
position … to help or hurt her teammates?
• Game Concepts have not changed much, but the way we read the game & make decisions has changed
• The end result is a Turn
Over. A mighty TO
• Here we witnessed
some mindless moves,
due to not being clear
what we - Dutch -
wanted to achieve
• Opportunity has
evaporated
• Please compare this
with the 1984 LA
Olympic games final
match (men) video clip
• Ball is cleared by the GB
players & attack repelled
With utmost due respect to these Olympians, the best of the very best, my honest
views are; “The Dutch player with the ball in the R.I. position and her teammates had
difficulty Recognizing and Recalling the most effective Pattern of play, to optimize
their offensive endeavors and fetch the best outcome, in this game situation”. Shiv Jagday
This is sad. A tragedy of the modern day game. If this was a random strategic move, it would not have been a thing of concern or worry. As this move and moves similar to these happen very frequently, is not a healthy sign for our game. It also reveals a lot about the players / teams, thought process and plan of strategic actions. Why are the very simple basic game concepts of width, depth, support and penetration, to create effective plays not implemented? As it is obvious from this power point presentation, Dutch players have disobeyed them. They have hurt none other than themselves. The power of soft skills cannot be underestimated.

We - I – have no enemies. We are a hockey family. Let’s work to gether.
Lets see how Pep Guardiola coached his Barcelona Football club. (BFC) Coach Pep is a highly respected and successful coach!
• Please note the width & depth in the BFC attack
• Triangles• Players staying
in their positions
• Self discipline & patience
• They know when to
support and when not to
• Please study both these photos• Do comparative analysis
• In my view, they are quite similar with slight variations
• What can we learn from BFC and Coach Pep?
• Study the next slide
Goal is Scored!Please Think!Why & How it was scored?
Quiz: Please give these 2 game situations to your players / teams in the U 14 – 16 age group. Ask them if
they can correlate them. They were taken 28 years apart.
