Avoid the dribble

Welcome back to the weekly analysis. You may not be interested in this one. But I don’t mind. As usual I write for you and read it.

Today we have a game from Okliga day 26 between Igualada and Vilafranca . The game ended 6-3 for the locals. As you may notice I love this Igualada

We start on a transition, as any good positional attack starts. One take away from this transition. Well let me do two.

• First, not all transitions are counter attacks. But all counter attacks are transitions. A transition is simply the change of defence to attack or attack to defence.
• Secondly, how Igualada divides the floor. 3 lanes, right lane, left lane and centre lane. One player on each and the fourth player on a more advanced position. I guess that he is at 7.

Let’s analyse the transition. As Igualada hits the midfloor, we can say that transition is over. So the more advanced player gets the weak side, as the player on that side stays back. That player is Miguel Cañadillas (Igualada Nº67). Look at him because is one of the main guys here.

Igualada stops at the midfloor at a really good Vilafranca transition. Igualada now is looking for space, and how they do it is simple. Players swap sides. Forcing Vilafranca players to move along with causing some kind of mess. Marc Rouze (Igualada Nº7) has the ball. What he does is simple. Skates towards 9 from the corner with the ball to pass back to Marc Carol (Igualada Nº32 ) located at 0.

Who as soon as he gets the ball skates towards one side, the same as Cañadillas is going towards the right lane. When they both arrive, take a deep look at it. Cañadillas arrives earlier to the corner. He is kind of setting up a block to Carol’s defender. While Cañadillas’ defender is far behind.
