Abstract

The paper presents the most important aspects of the defensive positioning of football players according to the possible ways of approaching offensively the opponent. The study focuses on general principles, which are valid in all ways of positioning, as well as on some specific principles that are required to be used according to the characteristics of the own players in the direct relationship with their opponents. There are described ways of behavior of the players who are positioned in different defense systems: 1-4-4-2; 1-4-3-1-2; 1-4-4-1-1; 1-6-3-1. The methods and means used to learn different defensive situations vary depending on the game situations. These methods include: В• Positioning (players' positions) when the ball is rebounded from the opponent goal; В• Positions and maneuvers of the defenders when the opponent attacks at the middle of the field; В• Players' positions in the field and the way of acting when the attack takes place in the finalization area. In terms of practical training, the exercises are designed to the following purposes: В• Simultaneous learning of individual and collective actions (mainly doubling); В• Positioning games with emphasis on defensive balance, to defeat in order to take the ball from the opponents; В• Positioning games with defensive movements to anticipate the adverse attack. The game model is fundamental in creating some specificity in relation to the multitude of situations the game can offer at all times. In this case, the player needs to have as many opportunities as possible to solve the situations of the game, which will make him more creative. This theoretical model simplifies the way in which defensive positioning is made and highlights how individual and collective tactical actions are put into practice, each time taking into account the individual and collective qualities of the forwards (in the context of creating a superiority in defence) as well as the ways of achieving these aspects depending on the physical, technical and especially mental qualities of the team players. The paper presents the practical ways to approach the game according to the defensive game system chosen to counteract the attack actions of the opponent team. The results of the research can contribute to certain national philosophy based on the specific characteristics of the Romanian football players. The conclusions provide concrete data, about the opinions on defensive positioning.
