the blind Spot
On this one today, I'm asking for your full attention. Even more than usual. You have been reading enough time to understand it. I'm sure.
It is easy to understand but you need to think out of the box, and stop the clip on key moments to truly understand the situation.
As a reminder, Follow this steps:
- Take a look at the video:
- Read and think about the analysis.
- Match the analysis and the video. Min 9:46
This clip starts when Igualada shoots the ball to the corner. Check Barça’s defence. They are defending 20 mts. Which means that they are pushing in defence, and it is quite high. Especially when the ball gets close to the area.
By doing this Igualada is compressing the defence. So when Aleix Cardil (Igualada N21) gets the rebound, the defence is compressed towards him. The example is Barça’s N26 (Xavi Barroso). Cardil skates next to the wall, looking to move the defender out and also looking for a team mate. Matias Pascula ( Igualda N4) is waiting for the ball at 3. But on his own floor. Look how much space is Pascual making for himself. Putting the defenders in a tough situation.
When Matias gets the ball starts skating diagonally towards 9. While he is skating all the team members start skating towards the cage .They are lowering the defending line making more space for him. When Matias passes the halfway line, Biel Llanes (Igualada N3) is almost at 3, but free from the defender. As his defender was helping with Matias’ entrance.
