Players on the line(s) where the ball is not found (lines before and/or after which the ball is located) must constantly manifest depth (approx. 15-20 m.).

Lines should constantly keep distances in depth during ball progression and recoil, avoiding reducing or increasing them in different game situations.

The team must be positioned in such a way that all its lines constantly occupy a space equivalent to half the pitch (advancing or regressing their position depending on the situation of the ball).

Scheme

Considerations

The manifestation of depth will allow us to:

  • Have time and space to receive and play the ball.
  • Achieve progression in the Collective Game.
  • The realization of "security" passes.
  • Making indirect orientation changes.

When the ball has it our goalkeeper the LD must also manifest depth.

Players in the line before and after the line in which the ball is located that are in the orientation of the game, must manifest, in addition to what is stated in the slogan, the search for the pass line, or the "darkening" of their opponent's vision, preventing him from simultaneously seeing him and the ball.

Players ahead of the line on which the ball is located must:

  • Position yourself and stay in optimal depth and diagonally compared to the players in the previous line:
    • Constantly looking for the pass line, if the marking is zonal, and receiving the ball from behind the opposite, or,
    • "Darken" on the contrary if we are marked with intense pressure, offering the game in depth and in front of the possessing companion with the realization of a "pique" towards him, manifesting 2:1 (S/N) in his area.

Players behind the line where the ball is:

  • All will manifest a position diagonally and in depth in a maintained manner (distance between lines), relative to the players of the line in which the ball is located.
  • Players located on the "vertical" of the ball - diagonally - will make emergency support by searching for the pass line.
  • Players in the game/ball orientation will constantly demonstrate a willingness to progress vertically to the rear zone:
    • If she is left free by the partner who occupied her and there is a chance of receiving the ball.

In the case of the tips, if they receive the ball, FROM BACK TO THE OPPOSITE GOAL, they must play at the first touch by changing the orientation of the game, returning to the playing area in a circle, unless the opposite allows to turn and directly face the attack.

In the case of "darkening" on the contrary, this one has two possibilities:

  • Draw your attention to the ball (in this case we will look for the pass line behind you).
  • Draw your attention to us (in that case we will perform a pretend of deception prior to dishording towards the holder partner – to unbalance him – and play the ball with an advantage.

Power plants receiving the ball in emergency support should steer the game towards the opposite lane from which the ball that came to them came.

The holder must constantly have the support of a unchecked companion (or appearing in a previously created free space), offering:

  • In emergency
  • In lateral support or progression
  • At least one support in vertical and/or diagonal depth.

The player who rests from the line ahead of the ball, if the opposite allows him to manifest the pass line, will attempt to receive the ball behind the opposite defensive line. If you pique towards the holder, you can turn around if you are not pressed, or play with a tap by changing the orientation.

The holder:

  • You should prioritize progressing through driving (if there is free space), or playing in depth with the partner ahead of you who manifests it, or
  • You will play with the partner on the same line to change the orientation.
  • In the latter case you will play towards the line behind to reorient the offensive game, and/or maintain control/possession of the ball.)
