LIFT (IN FOOTBALL)
- ACTION TO TAKE THE BALL OFF THE FIELD, AT ESPECIAL MOMENTS, EXCLUSIVELLY TO ARRANGE SPACE OR POSITION TO MAKE A BETTER PASS, A FINISHING OR ANY FOLLOWING ACTION, EVEN SUCESSIVE TOUCHS LIKE TRAP WITH THE FOOT OR HEAD.
- IT IS A TECHNICAL RESOURCE TO BE USED WITH PARSIMONY, JUST IN DECISIVE MOMENTS, BECAUSE A BALL ON THE FLOOR IS EASIER TO BE MANAGED AND TRAVELLED. FOOTBALL IS BALL ON THE GROUND.
- INSTINTIVE OR THOUGHT GESTURE, BUT DIFFERENT FROM A BAD RECEPTION THAT ALLOWS THE BALL GOES HIGH. BOTH, MEANWHILE, GIVE OPPORTUNITY OF IMPORTANT AND BEAUTIFUL SEQUENCIES, MAINLY FINISHING AS “SEM PULO-WITHOUT JUMP-BEBETO”, VOLLEY, OR BICYCLE (OVERHEAD KICK).
- THE ACTION CAN BE A TOUCH UNDER (TOTÓ, IN PORTUGUÊS) THE BALL BY ONE ONF THE FOOT, BY BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY, OR ONE AFTER THE OTHER IN SUPPORT, BEING DIFFERENT FROM JUGGLING THAT IS CARACTERIZED BY SEVERAL TOUCHS, BUT SOMETIMES STARTS WITH A LIFT FROM THE GROUND.
- CERTAIN KIND OF TRICK THAT CAN BE USEFUL AT CERTAIN MOMENTS OF THE GAME, FINISHING AND REBOUNDING, INDEED. EVEN THE BEGINNING OF DRIBLE OR JUGGLE.
ESSENTIAL ASPECTS
- RECOMMENDED TO BE JUST A RESOURCE TO GIVE TO THE BALL BETTER CONDITION TO BE PLAYED. IMPROVE THE ACT WITH BOTH LEGS AND THE FOLLOWING ACTION.
- DONE EITHER PULLING OR PUSHING THE BALL, ALSO USING THE OTHER FEET AS SUPPORT.
- USING BOTH FOOT, ONE EACH SIDE OF THE BALL AND SQUIZZING IT FORCING TO LIFT FROM THE GROUND BY THE PRESSURE.
- NECESSARY TO HAVE A GOOD CO-ORDENATION, FLEXIBILITY AND ARTICULAR MOBILITY, IT IS FOR FREE PLAYERS, NOT THE ONES WITH HARD WAIST.
- CLEAR THAT IT IS A RESOURCE FOR SPECIAL MOMENTS, BECAUSE THE BALL IS DONE ROUND TO ROLL, AND ROLLING ALONE IS FASTER, EVEN TRAVELLED IS QUICKER THAN JUGGLING IN THE AIR.
- A LIFT AT WRONG PLACE AND TIME ALLOWS THE OPPONENT (CAPABLE OF RUNNING 10 METERS IN ONE SECOND, NOWADAYS) TO GET CLOSER AND MAKE THE ACTION MORE DIFFICULT. COULD MEANS LOST THE POSSESSION, THE TREASURE, AND OPPORTUNITY TO SCORE. WITHOUT BALL IS JUST RUN AND SPEND ENERGY.
