Futsal Tips By Carlos Mateus and Paulista during Brasil Futsal in Uberlandia - Minas Gerais practicing to Face off Ukraine for the second game

Futsal tips Coaches Paulista and Carlos Mateus
How Ukraine stopped Falcao from Score goals.
Ukraine used the  own side of the court zone defense- Falcao was given the outside line only -two Ukrainian players were on top of the bird man like bad smell . 

Brazilian   futsal players  
practiced air ball  defense to defend against the Ukraine long balls
That is the big mistake that one team can make- is play long balls in futsal.
Yes a few try is ok , to take the pressure off .but do not do  it just because the players can not play the ball on the floor- Long balls is for soccer ;  in futsal  it  makes the game look shitty, and it is a demonstration of lack of practicing and futsal playing experience.
I have seen many teams coming to challenge the big guns in futsal , and chicken it out , and start to play long balls to the other end of the  playing court to get a lucky goal from a header
 That will make matters worse, as there will be  a faster ball possession for the opposing team, that will strike again and again to an two digit score board against the loser.
Ukraine came to play futsal and did it well . Before loosing  by 3 goal being one on the last two minutes on the game ,they did play futsal with no fear. a few long ball were part of their game , but the dribbling  and quick passing skills were noticeable to be improved, from the last time I saw Ukraine and Brazil playing at the 2008 WC.

Futsal tips by Carlos Mateus and Paulista
Goalkeeper practice is one of the though workout in futsal. The short range shots takes a lots of ability to stop it . Here in the Picture Brazilian National goalie Leo is pushed to the maximum in this drill: he goes around the cones and back to the goal line two people are feeding ball to the goal one shoots and the other one roll it ... and so on . set up cones for practice is a coaching technique.  There are lots futsal goalkeeper drills developed in Brazil futsal.. Keepers must get acquainted with the hard surface from young age. Outdoors soccer goalkeepers should not try to be a futsal goalkeeper. It cam be dangerous to the goalkeeper- due to the lack of  agility  for the fast game, and futsal  technique to land on the hard floor.




Futsal Tips here is about steeling the ball - support players should stay aware of a pop up loose ball , and go for the break  way  to  make that diagonal pass cross crease,  as soon as possible - most of the goals are scored from ball steeling , and the Brazilian have master that like a gang blitz. They do ganging up on you.
and one support players sweeper (Fixo)  will stay on the back like a sheriff in case the ball robber fails . on the picture one can see that.
