I'm not going to type the exact minute of the actions, at this point you all should be able to see actions. The analysis starts at minute 1:50.


Bruno Saavedra, a 19-year-old player, returned to the floor after a six-month injury break, impressively scoring two goals. He's definitely a player worth keeping an eye on.

Driving through position 7

Liceo employs techniques based on basic tactics, despite not being known for their positional attack. These methods, particularly maximizing 1-on-1 opportunities and exploiting second post options, are highly effective. One key aspect we'll delve deeper into is the accordion strategy, a focal point of this analysis. Cesar (Liceo Nº5) showcases his strength in long skating and powerful shots as he leads the team's approach towards position 7, drawing defenders towards him.

Timing

Timing plays a crucial role in Liceo's strategy. As Cesar maneuvers around position 3, Sito Recard (Liceo Nº2) emerges from position 7, while Cancela (Liceo Nº74) heads towards position 9. With all Voltrega defenders concentrated inside the area, Cesar passes to Sito, leading to a positional switch and a deliberate slowdown to allow teammates to adjust.

Non-ball game

In a non-ball game scenario, Cesar positions himself behind the cage at position 7. Despite an indirect block from Cancela at the top corner, Cesar seizes the opportunity to exploit position 9 on the weak side, eventually scoring Liceo's opening goal by cleverly adapting to the defenders' movements.

Highlights

go Deep into it

  • Continuity: Roller hockey is akin to a wheel, ever in motion with something new to explore.
  • Accordion: This goal hinges on forcing defenders to pivot around the ball.
  • Balance: Despite defensive challenges, Liceo players find openings close to position 0.
  • Air balls: Mastering inner areas and techniques like air balls requires years of dedicated practice.
  • Timing: Understanding when to accelerate and when to pause is key for effective positional attacks and transitions.

So grab your stick and keep skating!
