TIPS

JUCELE FOOTBALL CLUB

2020 (UPDATED 2023)

TECHNIQUE IS THE SET OF BASIC FUNDAMENTALS THAT DIFFERENTIATES FOOTBALL FROM OTHER SPORTS.

THE TECHNIQUE IS IMPERSONAL AND FORMED BY THE FOLLOWING SET OF TECHNICAL FUNDAMENTALS:

1. PASS;
2. DOMAIN;
3. CONTROL;
4. PROTECTION;
5. RAISED;
6. CONDUCTION;
7. DIINT;
8. DRIBBLE;
9. KICK;
10. INTERSECTION;
11. ENDING;
12. CABECEIO
13. DISARM.

13. PASS: ACTION OF SENDING THE BALL TO A COMPANION OR TO A CERTAIN EMPTY SPACE OF THE FIELD (FUTURE POINT). USUALLY PERFORMED BY ONE OF THE FEET (INNER (FLAT), EXTERNAL (TRIVELA OR 3 TOES, INSTEP, BEAK, SOLE AND HEEL). BUT IT CAN ALSO BE PERFORMED WITH OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY (HEAD, CHEST, SHOULDER, THIGH, KNEE, BELLY, BUTT, AND BY THE GOALKEEPER IN YOUR AREA, WITH YOUR HANDS).
14. AS FOR THE DISTANCE THE PASS CAN BE SHORT, MEDIUM AND LONG.
15. AS FOR THE HEIGHT THE PASS CAN BE CREEPING, HALF HEIGHT AND HIGH.
16. AS FOR THE TRAJECTORY IT CAN BE STRAIGHT OR WITH EFFECT.
17. BEFORE EXECUTING THE PASS, YOU MUST CONFIRM THE POSITIONING OF WHO WILL RECEIVE THE PASS.
18. THE INSIDE OF THE FOOT IS USED FOR SHORT, CREEPING PASSES (LIKE THE MORE ACCURATE GOLF PUT).
19. THE CREEPING PASS GIVES MORE SPEED TO THE GAME AND MAKES IT EASIER FOR THE TEAMMATE TO DOMINATE.
20. SHORT, CREEPING AND INEFFECTIVE PASSES ARE USED WHEN THERE IS NO OPPONENT BETWEEN PASSER AND RECEIVER;
21. USE THE INSIDE OF THE FOOT FOR SHORT PASSES, PLACING THE SUPPORT FOOT NEXT TO THE BALL SO IT DOESN’T GO UP.
22. BEFORE RECEIVING THE BALL, THE BEST PLACED COMPANION IS OBSERVED; WHEN DOMINATING THE BALL A NEW LOOK TO CONFIRM THE BEST POSITIONED AND PASS SAFELY WITHOUT WASTING TIME
23. PASSING IS THE BASIC ELEMENT TO MASTER THE GAME. IT GIVES CONSISTENCY TO THE TEAM (IT’S FOR THE GAME AS WELL AS THE WHEAT FLOUR FOR THE CAKE).
24. THE PASS IN EFFECT SERVES TO OPEN SPACES WHERE SOMETIMES THERE IS NOT. ALSO TO DECEIVE THE ADVERSARY
25. PRACTICE THE PASS WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE BALL. PRACTICE UNTIL YOU GET, STEP BY STEP, DIDACTICALLY FROM THE SIMPLEST TO THE MOST COMPLEX.
26. TRY TO GIVE AS MUCH SPEED AS POSSIBLE TO THE BALL, ON THE GROUND, WHEN THE PASS IS ON THE FOOT OF THE COMPANION, CONSIDER THE SKILL LEVEL OF THE RECIPIENT. CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE PASS WELL WHEN IT IS IN THE EMPTY SPACE OF THE FIELD (FUTURE-POINT) FOR A COLLEAGUE TO COLLECT.
27. ALSO PERFECT THE HEEL PASS (SOCRATES WAS MASTER) THAT SURPRISES, AT TIMES, THE OPPONENT.
28. COVER PASSES CAN BE USEFUL AGAINST DEFENSES THAT PLAY ON THE LINE.
29. BOTH THOSE WHO PASS AND THOSE WHO RECEIVE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PASS. THE COACH IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE, ALBEIT INDIRECTLY.
30. THE BALL IS ROUND TO ROLL. IF IT WERE TO FLY, IT WOULD HAVE WINGS AND WOULD POSSIBLY BE FLATTENED.
31. THE BALL IS MADE OF LEATHER, THE LEATHER COMES FROM THE COW, THE COW WALKS ON THE GRASS, THEN BALL ON THE GROUND. THE BALL IS NO LONGER LEATHER, BUT THE PRINCIPLE REMAINS.
32.  PERFECT THE ONE-TWO WHICH IS AN EFFICIENT WAY TO BEAT AN OPPONENT.
33. ALSO PRACTICE OVER-LAPPING WHICH IS A USEFUL EXCHANGE OF PASSES AT SPEED FROM THE SIDELINES.
34. THE PASS KICKS OFF A FOOTBALL MATCH, IT’S A TRANSFUSION OF LOVE.

ESSENTIAL POINTS:

• GOOD POSITIONING OF THE BODY AND FOOT-OF-SUPPORT IN RELATION TO THE BALL, DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF PASS AND THE DIRECTION;
• HEAD HELD HIGH AT THE TIME OF THE PASS;
• TOUCH THE RIGHT PART OF THE BALL, WITH THE PROPER FORCE.
• RELAX THE ANTAGONISTIC MUSCLES TO THE KICK AT THE EXACT MOMENT OF THE ACTION.
• LOTS OF TRAINING! TRAIN-TRAIN-TRAIN… (SAID MASTER WILLIAM APTIBOL)

DOMAIN/RECEPTION/KILL: ACTION THAT IS PERFORMED TO RECEIVE, RECEIVE THE BALL, CONTROLLING IT FOR THE NEXT ACTION.

• FOUNDATION THAT PUTS THE BALL UNDER CONTROL AND IN CONDITION TO BE PLAYED NEXT.
• ONE CAN USE ANY PART OF THE BODY TO DOMINATE THE BALL, EXCEPT THE ARMS AND HANDS (WHICH CAN BE USED BY THE GOALKEEPER IN HIS PENALTY AREA).
• YOU DOMINATE THE BALL BY TAKING AWAY ITS SPEED, MAKING THE PART OF THE BODY THAT WAS CHOSEN TO MAKE THE CONTACT AND THEREFORE THE KILL RETREAT AT THE SPEED OF THE BALL.
• MASTER THE BALL BY PREPARING IT FOR THE NEXT ACTION, WHETHER IT’S A NEW PASS FOR POSSESSION, A KICK OR EVEN DRIVING.
• TO PROPERLY DOMINATE THE BALL IT IS IMPORTANT TO LOOK CLOSELY AT ITS TRAJECTORY FROM THE BEGINNING.
• KEEP THE BODY IN A GOOD POSITION, RELANXADO AT ANY GIVEN TIME.
• BY DOMINATING THE GROUND BALL WITH YOUR FEET, PREVENT IT FROM RISING, WASTING TIME AND ALLOWING THE OPPONENT TO GET CLOSER.
• TO KILL THE BALL IN THE CHEST, RAISE YOUR ARMS TO SHOULDER HEIGHT, A LITTLE BACK AND THE CHEST SLIGHTLY PUFFED OUT. AT THE MOMENT WHEN THE CONTACT OF THE BALL WILL OCCUR, RELAX THE MUSCLES OF THE CHEST, FORMING AS A BAG THAT RECEIVES THE BALL AND PUSHES IT TO THE GROUND, WITHOUT LETTING IT RISE MORE THAN THE HEIGHT AT WHICH IT CAME.
• BETWEEN DOMINATING WITH ANY PART OF THE BODY AND THE NEXT ACTION, SPEND AS LITTLE TIME AS POSSIBLE, PREFERABLY WITHOUT LETTING THE BALL STOP.
• THE MOST DIFFICULT KILL IS THE ONE IN THE HEAD, BUT TRAIN YOURSELF THOROUGHLY, AS IT CAN BE USEFUL IN THE GAME (PELÉ WAS KING).

ESSENTIAL POINTS;

• HAVE GOOD RELAXATION TIME, JOINT MOBILITY, MUSCLE FLEXIBILITY AND GOOD MOTOR COORDINATION.
• USE THE RIGHT PART OF THE BODY ACCORDING TO THE TRAJECTORY OF THE BALL.
• BEING WITH THE BODY IN BALANCE AND, PREFERABLY, IN MOVEMENT, JUMPING, DANCING, IN GAME OF LEGS LIKE THE BOXER
• LOTS OF TRAINING! WORK-WORK-WORK…

DRIVING: ACTION THAT THE PLAYER PERFORMS BY MOVING WITH THE BALL ON THE GROUND OR IN THE AIR, IN ANY DIRECTION, WITH THE AIM OF REACHING A CERTAIN AREA OF THE FIELD WHILE MAINTAINING POSSESSION OF THE BALL

• TRY TO DRIVE THE BALL CLOSE TO YOUR FOOT IN THE CREEPING DRIVE. IN HIGH DRIVING, SHORT AND PRECISE TOUCHES WITH HEAD OR THIGH.
• PERFECT THE HANDLING OF THE BALL WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH, EYES WATCHING, LOOKING FORWARD, SOMETIMES SIDEWAYS AND EVEN BACK, SEEING AND CONTROLLING THE ENTIRE FIELD,
• TOUCH THE BALL WITH YOUR FOOT, FORWARD, USING THE INSTEP, THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OR ZIG-ZAG.
• IT IS KNOWN THAT IT IS A USEFUL TECHNICAL FOUNDATION, BUT LITTLE RECOMMENDED TO RUN WITH THE BALL, UNNECESSARILY, IN DEFENSE AND IN MIDFIELD, PREFERENTIAL ZONES FOR THE PASSING GAME, TRANSITION FROM DEFENSE TO ATTACK, FROM RIGHT TO LEFT OR VICE VERSA.
• IMPROVE THE SPEED IN DRIVING THE BALL WITHOUT LOSING QUALITY (ALWAYS WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH) STARTING WITH SMALL DISTANCES AND LOWER SPEED, INCREASING THE DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY AS YOU IMPROVE.

ESSENTIAL POINTS:

• KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AT ALL TIMES.
• DON’T LET THE BALL GET OUT OF HAND BY MOVING AWAY FROM YOUR FOOT. DO IT AS HIDING THE ROUND, THE TESOUSO INSIDE THE SOCK (ADILIO WAS A SNAKE)
• LEARN TO USE THE ARMLAMPS TO PROTECT THE DRIVING OF THE BALL, KEEPING THEM SLIGHTLY AWAY FROM THE BODY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE OPPONENT IS AROUND (NEVER TO PULL OR PUSH).

DRIBBLE: ACTION OF OVERTAKING THE OPPONENT BEING IN POSSESSION OF THE BALL.

• ONE CAN DRIBBLE BY KEEPING THE BALL ALL THE TIME OR MOMENTARILY MOVING AWAY FROM IT AND COLLECT IT AFTER PASSING THE OPPONENT. WITH THE BALL RASTERIA OR HIGH.
• TRY TO MAKE A FEINT, DECEIVING THE OPPONENT, BEFORE MAKING THE OVERTAKE.
• LOWER THE CENTER OF GRAVITY A LITTLE, BENDING YOUR KNEES SLIGHTLY, TO HAVE A BETTER START.
• REMEMBER THAT THE GOOD DRIBBLER NEVER LETS THE OPPONENT NOTICE HIS NEXT GESTURE. HIDE UNTIL THE FINAL MOMENT.
• DRIBBLE IS ONE OF THE MOST SPECIAL MOMENTS OF THE GAME (IT’S BEAUTIFUL GAME, GARRINCHA WAS A KING), IT CAN DISRUPT A GOOD DEFENSIVE SYSTEM. RESOURCE TO BE USED IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND AT THE RIGHT TIME.

ESSENTIAL POINTS:

• HAVE GOOD MOTOR COORDINATION.
• NOTION OF TIME AND SPACE.
• GOOD MUSCLE EXPLOSION, ESPECIALLY OF LEGS,
• TO LIKE TO DECEIVE, TO CHEAT THE ADVERSARY.
• HAVE GOOD LEG GAME, SAMBA, GINGA, SWING.
• HAVE A VARIETY OF DRIBBLES, PLUS DIFFERENT ENDINGS FOR THE SAME DRIBBLE TO ALWAYS SURPRISE THE OPPONENT.
• KNOW THE SPEED, REACTION SPEED AND EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH OF OPPONENTS, IN ADDITION TO YOUR WEAK LEG.

HEADER: THE  ACT OF STRIKING THE BALL WITH THE HEAD, WHETHER FOR THE PURPOSE OF BATTING, PASSING OR DOMINATING.
