Futsal Tips - Behind the Ball Line with Carlos Mateus

Player Shouldn't take a

"Flat feet posture position " when ever defending behind the ball line

In this case - picture-  the defender should have left foot in front -backing , defending  and pushing the attacker to the  sideline , preventing the pass to his teammate..  as support players come to help in blitz to  take the ball ,   Also do not glue your eyes on the ball or at the opposing players feet , but in his whole body movement as well reading the game and the opposing player options and intention - dribbling or passing . It's is like crab fishing trip or chase a loosen chicken got get it  one  hand lower look  bigger  - getting some feathers tickling the opposite player. 

This drill should be practice during  futsal grassroots  work out

 - if the attacker comes from the your defending  right lane , 

using the left leg up front vice verse 

How it should be done - Leco and Chico former Brazilian National Team members 

 Lucas Grassroots futsal practice in Brazil 

When  the team  is not with the ball position ,  the whole team should defend behind the ball line.

 Some defending  basics =  kipping  the support leg back in sideways posture and jockeying backward wait for the opponent move as the ball gets rolling . this skill  is learn at the the age of of 6 years old ..as at this game as spectator ,  one can  tell the difference between a soccer player with no futsal grassroots base.

During a game - The team that steal more  balls from the opponent ,   is more like to win the match. the same works for fouls - but remember of the number of fouls per half , after the 5 foul,  there will be no wall , but the keeper is there to defend and not to scoop balls from the back of the net.
