1-vs-1

The one-vs-one duel is the basis of the game. In order to be able to reduce the one-vs-one situation to a one-vs-zero situation, the attacker must often be more inventive. In practice it is inconceivable that the attacker can get the ball at any time or score unhindered. The defenders will do everything in their power to make the attack more difficult.

To achieve the desired goal (one-to-zero situation) one has to be faster and smarter tan the defenders. For example, attackers can avoid opponents due to speed and direction changes in order to achieve effective action. Also ‘feints’ contribute to this goal, whereby they can best be practiced in a playful manner. Various games are particularly suitable for this. You should choose games in which mobility, agility, speed and responsiveness are required.

It is therefore important that the attacker is aware of the defending qualities of the opponent (s) before the match. He must also be able to decide in a fraction of a second how he can attack the defender. Once a 1-1 action has been deployed, it is no longer allowed to be wavered, because then it is for the players more difficult to respond.
