Soccer Tactics
In soccer, the term “Tactics” refers to the coordinated movement of two or more players within the same unit, two units, or the entire team, with a shared and predetermined purpose.
When talking about soccer tactics, it’s important to keep in mind that the shared goal of all players is to score one more goal than the opponents and win the game. The tactics in soccer are manifested in two moments, each of which has a specific purpose: when the team has possession of the ball and when the team doesn’t have possession of the ball.
