Winners of the Golden Ball (France Football) / Golden Ball FIFA (since 2010

Stopping the ball in football is achieved, as a rule, by a yielding movement of one or another part of the body and relaxation of certain muscle groups. Stops can be complete, after which the ball remains motionless at the feet of the players, and incomplete, when the movement of the ball is not completely extinguished, but only its speed slows down and the direction of movement changes. In the game, of course, incomplete stops are most often used. That is why the term "stopping" is increasingly being replaced by the term "receiving" the ball in recent times. I think this is natural. After all, modern football is characterized by increased speed and intensity. As a result, the player does not have time to calmly dispose of the ball. When receiving the ball, the player must quickly orient himself, correcting it in the direction that is most beneficial for further actions. We recommend that you learn how to stop (receive) the ball simultaneously with practicing the technique of hitting. At first, it is advisable to master stopping the rolling ball with the inside of the foot and the sole, then the flying ball with the inside of the foot and the sole, instep. After that, you can move on to learning stops with various parts of the body in motion and jump. Stopping a rolling ball with the inside of the foot quite often used in the game, as this method is convenient and reliable. Having received the ball, the football player's leg is ready to immediately send it further. This trick is done like this. The supporting leg, slightly bent at the knee, is put forward. Its toe shows the direction of the approaching ball. The weight of the body is also transferred to the supporting leg, the stopping leg is bent at the knee. Her foot turns strongly outward and forms an angle with the foot of the supporting leg (Fig. 47). Thus, it is slightly fed towards the approaching ball. At the moment of contact with the ball, the leg is gently pulled back, and the ball remains in front of the player.

1. HIT AND STOP. Stand 5 m from the wall and send the ball down so that, having bounced off the wall, it rolls back. Having stopped the ball, again blow it to the wall, etc. 2. RECEPTION AND TRANSMISSION. Players are divided into pairs. Partners stand opposite each other at a distance of 6 m. Sending the ball to each other in turn, they practice passing and stopping the ball with the inside of the foot. Gradually, the distance between partners increases. 3. BALL TO CENTER. Those involved stand in a circle, the diameter of which is 12-14 m. One of the players takes a place in the center of the circle. His task is to alternately pass the ball to colleagues. The latter, having stopped the ball, again return it to the player standing in the center of the circle. 4. FROM CIRCLE TO CIRCLE. The participants are divided into two teams. Each has an equal number of players. Teams are located in several places from each other, standing in columns one at a time. A circle with a diameter of 2 m is drawn in front of each column. The first numbers of the teams stand in a circle with the ball. On a signal, they send the ball to the head players of their teams. Those, having stopped the ball, send it back, while they themselves turn and run to the end of the column. The game ends when each player on each team has completed three passes. The victory is given to the team that completed the task faster. The distance from the column to the circle is 5-6 m. 5. IN MOTION. Players are divided into pairs and stand 7-8 meters apart. Moving forward, they pass the ball to each other from the bottom, first stopping it with their foot. The pace of movement gradually increases. Often, novice players encounter such a mistake when stopping: touching the foot, the ball bounces strongly, which allows the opponent to take possession of the ball. This is due to the fact that the joints of the leg are very tense, and the ball, hitting the hard surface of the foot, bounces off the leg. To overcome this shortcoming, it is best to practice with a partner in stops using a lightly inflated ball. When you feel that there are fewer and fewer mistakes, switch to exercises with a regular ball. Often there is another error. For example, the toe of the skating foot is too turned inward or outward. As a result, the stopping leg does not stand at right angles to the ball moving towards the opposite direction, which, having collided with the foot, unexpectedly bounces to the side. In this case, it is advisable to hit the wall with the subsequent stop of the reflected ball, paying the necessary attention to the setting of the supporting leg. Stopping a rolling ball with the sole(fig. 48) is performed when the ball moves towards the player. The technique for performing the reception is not so complicated. However, it requires first attention and diligence. It is done like this. The stopping leg, slightly bent at the knee, is carried out towards the approaching ball. A raised toe and a lowered heel, as it were, form an oblique roof over the ball. The direction of the toe of the supporting leg is the same as the direction of the ball. When the ball touches the sole, the leg is retracted slightly back due to the bend in the knee, gently pressing the ball to the ground, and the body moves forward.

Sequence in training:

1. BALL TO PARTNER. Players are divided into pairs and stand 5 meters apart. One of them brings the leg forward, raising the toe and lowering the heel, towards the ball, which the partner rolls to him. As soon as the ball makes contact with the sole, the player gently presses it to the ground. After that, he rolls the ball to a friend who performs a stop and then a pass, etc. 2. BY SIGNAL. The exercise is done in pairs. Partners stand 6-7 meters apart. One of the partners has the ball, and the other turns his back to him. The first one gives a low pass towards a friend, and when the ball approaches him, he gives a signal with his voice. On hearing the signal, the player turns around and stops the ball with the sole. After that, the partners change roles, etc. 3. TROIKA. Three players practice at the same time. Two of them, standing 5-6 steps from each other, alternately send the ball from the bottom towards the third, which takes a position 7-8 steps from them. He is forced to move to the right or left, stopping the ball with the sole, as the ball is sent by partners away from him. From time to time partners change roles. Beginning players stopping a rolling ball with their soles often put their stopping foot too high. This mistake causes the ball to slip under the foot. In order to feel more accurately the correctness of the movement, it is recommended to repeat exercise 1. After stopping, the player strongly steps on the ball with his foot - this is also a typical mistake. For those who have it, it is necessary, after stopping, to immediately take a step forward with the stopping foot. In this case, the body weight will be transferred to the supporting leg and the ball will not jump out from under the foot. In the game, football players often stop falling balls with both the inside of the foot (Fig. 49) and the sole (Fig. 50). In the first case, the supporting leg is placed about 40 cm in front of the intended landing site of the ball. The stopping leg is pulled back, passing the flying ball, and at the moment it touches the ground, it gently covers the inside of the foot. When stopping a falling ball with the sole, the supporting foot is placed slightly behind the intended landing of the ball. The stopping leg, bent at the knee joint, is carried forward slightly. After the ball touches the playing field, it is covered with the sole due to some straightening of the leg, which at the same time relaxes.

Sequence in training:

1. THROW THE BALL. Two players practice. One of them easily throws the ball to a partner who stops it either with the inside of the foot or with the sole. The distance between partners is 3-4 steps. Everyone must perform 10-15 stops of the ball in one way or another. 2. AFTER THE BACK. Toss the ball over the head so that it falls near the shoulder on the side of the stopping leg and stop the ball after the bounce with the inside of the foot. The exercise is repeated 10-15 times. Then the stops are made by the sole. In this case, the player throws the ball so that it falls slightly ahead. The exercise is repeated 10-15 times. 3. STOP AND TRANSFER. Two players practice. One throws the ball to the left of the partner. He stops it with the inside of the foot of the left foot, and returns the ball with the inside of the foot of the right foot. Then the ball is thrown under the right foot, etc. In total, the partners perform 10 stops with each foot. Then they switch roles. The next series involves stopping the ball with the sole and then passing it to the partner. The pass is made with the foot that stopped the ball. Each partner performs 10 stops with both legs. 4. WITH A RUN. Two players take a position 8 meters opposite each other. One of them throws the ball to the partner so that it falls 3-4 m in front of him. The partner makes a jerk, stops the ball and returns it to you with a kick, and he returns to his original position, etc. Partners periodically change roles. 5. WITH A TURN. The exercise is performed in pairs 8 m apart. They alternately throw the ball to the partner so that he stops it after a rebound with a turn of 45 °, and then - 90 °. 6. AFTER JERKING TO THE SIDE. Two players stand 10-12 paces apart. One of them throws the ball towards the partner. He must make a dash and stop the ball after bouncing off the ground with a turn to face the one who threw the ball. After stopping, the player takes the ball in his hands and throws it to stop his partner, etc. 7. AFTER THE HIT. The exercise involves two players. They stand 20 paces apart and alternately send the ball towards a partner with a steep trajectory of their arm. After the bounce, the ball is stopped by the inside of the foot or the sole. Touching the foot, the ball bounces off the player - this is one of the most common mistakes when stopping the ball in these ways. The reason is that the ankle joint of the stopping leg is too tense. To correct this gap, repeat exercises 1 and 2. In cases where the ball flying from behind or from the side, falling, is somewhat removed from the player, it is used stop with the outside of the foot(Fig. 51). This technique is used by experienced football players for the subsequent departure from the opponent. And it is done like this. The supporting leg is bent at the knee joint, and the other is brought forward, rises and turns around. The ball is covered with the outside of the foot, and the ankle joint is relaxed. The body leans slightly towards the ball. There are other options for stopping a flying ball in this way (Fig. 52).

Sequence in training:

1. IMITATION. This technique is performed without the ball, simulating a stop. 2. Bouncing the ball. Throw the ball away from you and stop it with your right or left foot. 3. PUSHING THE BALL. Students practice in pairs. Partners stand 6 m apart and alternately throw the ball to each other so that it can be stopped with the outside of the foot. The distance is gradually increased. 4. WITH A TURN. Two players practice. One of them throws the ball to the left of the partner. He makes a dash for the ball and stops the ball with his right foot with a turn to face his partner, winning back the ball for him with the outer part of the lift of the same leg. After that, the ball is thrown to the right of the partner, etc. Periodically, the players change roles. A great difficulty for beginner footballers is to stop flying balls, especially at high speed. Having mastered the reception of such balls, you get a great advantage over your opponent in the game. As a rule, flying balls are stopped by the inside of the foot (Fig. 53) or the middle of the rise (Fig. 54).

Stopping a flying ball with the inside of the foot is a lot like stopping a rolling ball with the same technique. The supporting leg is slightly bent at the knee, carried forward - up so that the ball comes into contact with the inside of the foot. At the same moment, the stopping leg gently moves back, extinguishing the speed of the ball. This technique accepts balls flying no higher than the level of the thigh. Higher balls can be stopped in a jump with the same technique. If the ball falls in front of the player, it can be stopped by the middle of the rise. In this case, the supporting leg is bent at the knee, and the other is carried forward - up. She also bends slightly at the knee. Her foot is pulled down. The dropping ball meets the middle of the instep (or toe) and the stopping foot drops down quickly but gently, dampening the ball's flight speed.

Sequence in training:

1. SUSPENDED BALL. A ball is suspended from the rack or goal so that it is about 40 cm from the ground to the ball. The student swings the suspended ball and, as it approaches, takes a step forward, trying to stop it with the inside of the foot. After practicing, change the distance from the ground to the ball to 10 cm and, swinging the ball, stop it in the middle of the rise. 2. CANDLE. Toss the ball over you with a candle and then stop the falling ball either with the inside of the foot or with the middle of the rise. 3. ON A STEP TRAJECTORY. The exercise is performed in the same way as the previous ones. The difference is that two players alternately throw the ball to each other in a steep trajectory. The distance between partners is 8 m. 4. PUNCH UP. Juggle the ball in the middle of the rise. Having knocked the ball up, stop it with the middle of the instep or the inside of the foot. 5. AFTER THE IMPACT. The exercise involves two players. They stand opposite each other at a distance of 15-20 steps and alternately send the ball to each other so that it falls directly on the partner. A flying ball stops in one way or another. 6. AFTER THE IMPACT WITH A TURN. The exercise is performed in the same way as the previous one, with the only difference that simultaneously with the stop, the players make a 45-90 ° turn in the agreed direction. A significant mistake when stopping a flying ball in these ways is the inability to gently and quickly take the foot back at the moment of contact with the ball. As a result, as a rule, the ball bounces strongly from the player and becomes easy prey for opponents. We recommend returning to exercises 1 and 2 to correct the deficiency. Football is getting faster. Players often do not have time to handle the ball with their feet. After all, the opponent does not sleep, trying to find any opportunity to select the ball. Therefore, the players try to take the ball with their head (Fig. 55) and the hip (Fig. 56), and the stomach (Fig. 57), and chest (Fig. 58 and 59). The technique of these techniques is similar to the techniques described above: the corresponding part of the body approaches the ball, and a moment before touching it, it moves back a little. For example, a stop of the ball with the chest is used in cases where the ball falls on the player or flies directly at him, and it is unprofitable to play with the head. And this situation often occurs in the game.

Sequence in training:

1. TOGETHER. Players are divided into pairs and stand 4 meters apart. They alternately throw the ball on each other's chest, stopping it. The distance between partners gradually increases. 2. CHANGING THE TRAJECTORY. The exercise is performed in the same way as the previous one. However, the trajectory of the ball is constantly changing. 3. TOWARDS THE BALL. Two partners are exercising. They stand opposite each other at a distance of 10 m and alternately throw the ball to each other so that a friend can make a jerk towards the flying ball and stop it with his chest. 4. STOP IN MOTION. Students are divided into pairs. On a signal, the couples begin to move back and forth across the field. In this case, one player throws the ball to another, and he takes it on his chest and smoothly lowers it to his feet. After a short dribbling, the latter takes the ball in his hands and throws it on the partner’s chest, etc. (Fig. 60).

AFTER IMPACT. The exercise is performed in the same way as the previous one. The difference is that the ball is not thrown to the partner with a hand, but after dribbling it is gently directed to him with a kick. AFTER THE BACK. Players practice in pairs. The task is to take on the chest the ball that has bounced off the ground, which the partner directs to him with his hand with a rebound from the ground (Fig. 61). The distance between the players is 8-10 m. The receiving player must, arching his chest, sort of sit down under the ball and then smoothly lower it to the ground under his feet. AFTER THE CANOPY. The exercise is held in front of the gate. Forwards A and B, followed by defenders C and D, are outside the penalty area. Forward A delivers the ball on horseback to partner B. The latter takes it to the chest, goes into the penalty area and shoots at the goal. After five passes, the partners switch roles. Defenders C and D first act passively, and then counteract the attackers (Fig. 62).

TRIANGLE. Three players practice at the same time. They form a triangle on the field with sides of 10 steps. Two players each have the ball. They alternately kick the balls towards the partner without the ball, who stops the flying balls with their chest, and then returns them to the partners with a kick. Players periodically change roles. WITH A TURN. This exercise is performed in the same way as the previous one, however, when stopping the ball, the player turns 45-90 °, handles the ball and sends it back. When performing chest stops, beginners have noticed the following mistakes: when the ball flies towards them, they are sometimes late to “remove” the chest, as a result of which the ball bounces strongly from the chest. In order to have a strong skill of timely “removing” the chest, it is necessary to more often perform the exercise in tossing the ball over oneself, followed by stopping it with the chest. It is useful to repeat exercise 1 from session to session. The second typical mistake is the obviously insufficient retraction of the upper body at the moment of stopping. After that, as a rule, the falling ball suddenly slides off the chest. In order to close this gap, it is recommended to perform a stop motion without the ball, simulating a stop with the chest.

Stopping the ball in football is a technical technique that is as important as hitting and passing. It is used to judge the level of training and game culture of a football player.

It is easier to make an accurate hit on an immovable ball. The player must know how to stop the ball in football. Ideally, a football player makes two touches to receive and give the ball, regardless of the speed and trajectory of his movement. An unprepared athlete accepts it and "works on" under attack. How to stop the ball in football?

What is ball stop

Photo 1. Stopping the ball in football is most often done with the foot.

To stop a rolling or flying soccer ball is a conditional definition of a specific technique. It is not necessary to make the sports equipment immobile. The main task of the stop is to interrupt the movement of the ball, leaving it under your control. When playing a one-touch game, the technique provides for a large rebound. To take possession of the projectile teammate. That is, in this case, the stop is combined with the transfer.

You can interrupt the movement of the ball with any part of the body (except for the hand). But the most practical is the leg. And only stopping a high-flying ball in football is carried out with the head and chest.

Sometimes, by chance, the flight of the ball is interrupted by the stomach. But this approach is forced. And it is more of a blockage than a stop.

Photo 2. Stopping a soccer ball in the air by lifting the leg.

In certain game episodes, it may be necessary to give the ball to your goalkeeper. The complexity of this action lies in the presence of rivals and the proximity of their gates. The second factor creates the threat of an own goal. You cannot make a pass with your foot to your goalkeeper. Therefore, learning how to stop a soccer ball with your head is becoming increasingly important. But even when playing near someone else's goal, this skill is not at all superfluous.

Stopping the ball with the foot

Photo 3. Stopping a fast-flying ball requires skill and precision of movement from the player.

Stopping the ball with the foot is the most common in the system of techniques. Their conditional classification is as follows:

• Stopping the ball with the hip.
• Stopping the ball with the foot.

There is only one part of the body - the leg, but due to many features - the technique of execution is completely different.

Stopping the ball with the hip is rational to use in the case when the projectile is descending. When performing this technique, the bent leg rises towards the ball. At the moment of contact, the thigh drops slightly. Due to the fact that the ball “catches up” with the leg, its speed is partially extinguished. Even more absorb the impact of the thigh muscles.

Photo 4. After the ball stops, the player can direct it anywhere.

Rebound at a hip stop is minimal due to:

• large area of ​​contact;
• thigh softness;
• large amplitude of yielding movement.

All stops of the ball with the foot are divided into several types:

1. Stopping the ball with the sole. The easiest way to handle a projectile. Only a ball moving on the ground can be stopped. Reception involves raising the toe above the level of the heel. The ball, as it were, "gets stuck" under the sole, completely stopping, without rebounding. When performing this technique, you can not put your foot forward. This can be regarded by the referee as a dangerous game (lining, "straight leg"). The difficulty in stopping the ball with the sole is that the ball can "dive" under the heel. He will be behind the player who made a mistake. This will lead to a complete loss of ball control (both physical and visual). It will also create an opportunity for an opponent to counterattack. Weaknesses: difficult to play with one touch and stop the ball from flying.
2. Stopping the ball with the inside of the foot. The second easiest method. The leg rises above the ground and is retracted slightly back. The toe turns to the side. The ball comes to rest between the ground and the raised inside of the foot with the toe out. The correct execution of the reception involves a small rebound. It is the preparation for further action, strike or pass. A common mistake during execution is the foot set forward, instead of laid back. The result is a strong rebound. The advantage of stopping the ball with the inside of the foot is the versatility of the reception. This is the processing of projectiles flying at high speed. Also, it is great to control the falling ball. In addition, it is possible to stop and hit or give the transfer. Or play with one touch: stop + hit , stop + pass, stop + feint. This technique of stopping the ball allows you to receive difficult passes and create various combinations of techniques.
3. Stopping the ball with a lift. This technique is very similar to the previous one, stopping with the inside of the foot. Only a touch with a moving ball makes the foot lift. The main difference in stopping the ball with a lift is in the position of the foot. The sock is not retracted outward, but inward.
4. Some subspecies of the last two techniques of stopping the ball are the handling of a projectile that falls directly on the foot. In this case, the raised part of the leg is substituted under the falling ball. At the moment of contact, the foot drops, which dampens the speed of the ball. It is as if picked up by the instep (or the inside of the foot) and placed on the ground. Also, this subspecies should include stopping the ball in a jump. The execution technique is similar, but is complicated by the flight phase (bouncing).

Photo 5. Stopping the ball with the foot allows you to immediately retaliate.

Stopping the ball with the foot is the most effective, allowing you to maintain a high pace of play. These techniques create the conditions for quick attacks. They give the opportunity to deliver a strong blow in one touch or immediately after stopping.

The table shows techniques for stopping the ball with the foot, common mistakes in technical performance and their consequences.

If all possible factors minimize the rebound when stopping with the hip, then not for the foot. The small area of ​​​​contact and the rigidity of the shoe is compensated by other features. These are the depreciation properties of the joints and great opportunities for yielding movement.

Photo 6. When the ball is stopped with the foot, the contact area is small, but this is compensated by the shock-absorbing properties of the joints.

body stop technique

To stop the ball flying above waist level, use the torso. Conventionally, methods can be divided into two types:

Stopping with the body (torso) is difficult to perform. It requires increased flexibility and coordination. But the advantages lie in the excellent cushioning abilities. They are excellent both in the chest and in the abdomen. The large area of ​​contact also allows damping the ball's momentum. Therefore, the yielding movement does not affect the rebound as much as when receiving with a foot or head.

One of the most typical mistakes made when stopping a ball flying in the air in various ways is the incorrect execution of the yielding movement with the corresponding part of the body: sometimes it is performed too early, sometimes too late, or not performed at all. If this movement is made too early, the ball may bounce back into the field, as well as a late or not made movement at all. In addition, the player may trip on the ball if he yields prematurely.

Head stop technique

You can stop high-flying balls, except for the chest, with your head. In some cases, this is the only way to receive a projectile. Therefore, despite the difficulty of performing this technique, they must be mastered.

Photo 8. Incorrect stop of the ball with the head can result in injury (the reception should be made by the middle part of the forehead).

The main difficulty of receiving the head is a strong rebound. After all, the shock-absorbing effect depends only on the ability to make a yielding movement.

The ball when stopped by the head is received by the middle part of the forehead. At the moment of contact, the head makes a yielding backward movement. This slows down the speed of the ball.

The advantages of this method is the ability to make a hit or pass from the "second floor".

It is also effective to stop the ball that bounced off the lawn high with the head. The advantage over a chest stop will be the speed of the player's movement.

Photo 9. In situations where the ball is flying too high, a head stop may be the only option.

Conclusion

Stopping the ball is not only immobilizing it. It is also a "preface" for an attack or shot on goal. The pace and beauty of football largely depends on the quality of the stop. Stopping for the sake of stopping is an irrational technique. Therefore, most passes in modern football are received with a transfer stop. Such actions of football players shorten the time for preparing the next actions. This significantly increases the pace and dynamics of the game, increases the speed of the athletes. And in such conditions, the physical readiness of the players already affects.

Photo 10. Football players are taught the correct techniques for stopping the ball from a very early age.

Each player must master all the techniques of stopping the ball. Even goalkeepers often have to play outside the penalty area. Also, goalkeepers are sometimes forced to take passes with their feet from their own. Therefore, the skills of stopping the ball are necessary for all players, regardless of their role.

You can stop the ball "legally" with any part of the body, except for the hands. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. The athlete must rationally apply his skills and benefit from them.
