Coaching Game : on match day

Pre-game : that is before the match by passing instructions on what you are expecting from each player and team.

The Game : this is the during-match information that you pass and should be what you ask them to do in the match.
Leading the team : all teams and coaches have a positive culture. In all your training, everything must go along with your team culture. It may be Tik-taka or total football etc.

Post-game : After match discussion but not immediately after the match but in training to review all they did in the match.

Managing Team : The Performance Environment. I mean anything that influences your job, either controllable or non-controllable.

Before the game in the training session.
Organize: A good coach must be well organized. The coach arranges your cones before the player comes in and each session with an appropriate number of players on a specific area of the field and introduces your training by using a clear voice and demonstration.

Variety: A good coach must be creative because your training needs to be different between days and always avoid dull moments.

Correction: Coach should understand when, how and what to correct by freezing or stopping the game with practical experience. Also, your corrections should be based on training objectives with positive reinforcement and encouragement in your corrections.

Commutation: In your communication you are expected to use catch words like press, keep it, drop, split, pass, cover, and wide etc.

1. Technique is the body’s mechanical execution to affect the ball; for example ball control,passing and receiving shooting ,dribbling , footwork ,heading,tacking,shooting,throwing,chesting trapping and running with ball.

A strategy is the general plan you have to beat your opponents, or
The roles and instructions each player is given before the game.
The instructions might be on how you want each individual or group to be played in the defense, midfield and attack that guide your phases of football?
Are “In Possession,” “Out of Possession,” “Defensive Transitions,” and “Attacking Transitions.”
Like in defense line, you want your defenders to maintain zonal marking.

What is zonal marking?

Zonal marking is a defensive strategy in which teams prioritize controlling and defending spaces rather than matching the opposition player for player.

Set limitations for central midfielders
Set limitations for full back either to support the attack or not.

Or ask a particular fullback to support the attack.

In processing of attacking transmission when a certain player has the ball, who should move.

Player arrangements in the field, such as in movement in field, triangle, should be formed etc

Set movements pattern

Football movement is more than just running with the ball. It involves smart positioning, making passing lanes, and using space to gain an edge over the opponent. Whether you are an attacker trying to score or a defender trying to stop attacks, knowing how to move is very important.

As a coach always tells your player to move without doing a lot of good to the game.

Here are some key movement patterns often observed in top footballers:

Overlapping Runs

Full-backs surging forward to provide width and create passing options on the flanks.

Diagonal Runs

Midfielders or forwards making runs from deep positions towards the box, often timed with a through pass.

Channel Runs

Attackers exploit the space between center-backs and full-backs, aiming to get in behind the defensive line.

Third-Man Runs

A player times their run to latch onto a deflected or loose ball, often overlooked by defenders focused on the initial duel.

Dummy Runs

A deceptive movement designed to draw defenders away from the ball, creating space for a teammate.

Decoy run
What is a decoy run in football?
Decoy run – A run made by a member of the attacking team, intended to draw a defender toward the runner (and away from the ball handler), creating more space and opportunity for the intended attack.

Inter-change run
Interchanging of running between the attackers when the ball is coming from a certain side to deceive opponents.

They are many strategies in football, but it depends on the coaches’ creativity and understanding. Please, as coach let’s try to watch different matches to analysis the game let just bet only.
