PROTECTION

1. ACTION TO PROTECT THE BALL PLACING THE BODY BETWEEN THE OPPONENT AND THE BALL, UNTIL THE TIME TO CAME A TEAMATE IN SUPPORT OR THE EXECUTION OF ANOTHER FUNDAMENTAL, AVOIDING THE LOSS OF THE POSSESSION. THE BALL IS A TREASURE.
2. USUALLY TURNING THE BACK TO THE ADVERSARY, LOOKING AT THE BALL, TOUCHING IT, CHANGING ITS PLACE, BUT CONSEQUENTLY LOOSING THE VISION OF THE FIELD.
3. PROTECTION SHOUDN’T BE VERY LONG TO AVOID OTHER OPPONENTS COMING CLOSER. I SAW AT ONCE SIX PLAYERS FROM “CLUB NACIONAL FROM MEDELLIN” TO SQUEEZE AN OPPONENT NEAR THE BOUNDARY LINE, WINNING THE BALL AND ALL THE SIX SPRINT SPREADING IN A COUNTER ATTACK.
4. AS IT IS FORBIDDEN BY THE LAW THE PROTECTION WITHOUT PLAYING THE BALL, THE PLAYER MUST TRY TO TURN FACING THE OPPONENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

ESSENTIAL ASPECTS

• KEEP THE LEGS A LITTLE BENT AND OPEN, CENTER OF GRAVITY LOW, IN GOOD POSITION NOT TO GIVE SPACE, ARMS FIRMS, PROTECTING AND IN CONDITION TO CHANCE BODY OR BALL’S POSITION TO PROTECT THE TREASURE.

• USE BOTH ARMS IN THE HIGHT OF THE SHOULDERS AND THE HANDS TOUCHING THE OPPONENT TO MEASURE THE DISTANCE AND KEEP IT, MANTAINING THE ADVERSARY THE FURTHEST POSSIBLE FROM THE BALL. DO NOT PULL OR PUSH, FAULT IN FOOTBALL AND LOSS OF THE POSSESSION.

• ALWAYS IT IS POSSIBLE LIFT THE HEAD OR EYES TO SEE THE POSITION OF THE COLEAGUES, OR FIND A SPACE TO SCAPE (JULIO CESAR “URI GELLER” DID SOME MOVEMENTS OF PROTECTION AND SCAPE LOOKING LIKE MAGICS, “UM ELÁSTICO AÉREO” – “AERIAL RUBBER” LIKE RIVELINO IN THE FLOOR).

• EVENTUALLY LIFT THE BALL (ANOTHER FUNDAMENTAL) TO FIND AN EXIT BY THE AIR.

• LET THE FRIENDS TO KNOW YOU ARE CORNERED AND IN TROUBLE, SPEAKING OR SHOUTING, ASKING FOR HELP AND TIPS FROM THOSE FACING THE SITUATION.
