Friends of SportReviews certainly know that soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world.
Football is also very loved in Indonesia.
In this article, SportReviews will share the types of tackling in soccer.
Summarized by SportReviews from the Tokopedia blog page, let’s take a look at the types of tackling in soccer.
Tackling technique sounds familiar in football matches.
This tackle technique is somewhat similar to intercepting.
If intercepting is stealing the ball that is brought by the opponent or passed by the opponent to his team, tackling is a technique to prevent the opponent from entering the defensive area.
Apparently there are 3 types of tackles in soccer, friend!
1) Blocking Tackle
When you and your opponent are facing each other, blocking attacks with this type can be an option.
The purpose of a block tackle is to stop a kick on goal or a pass.
Usually with the feet or soles of the feet, and is done near or almost in contact with the opponent.
This tackle is not done as a tactic to get the ball, but rather to decide the opponent’s attack.
When making a blocking tackle, it is advisable to find a position that allows a quick change of direction because the direction of the tackle depends on where the ball is being carried.
2) Poke Tackle
Unlike the block tackle, the poke tackle is done when the tackler is chasing the ball carrier from the side or the back.
This technique can be done quite practically, namely pushing the foot into the ball.
In poke tackle, balance is very important role.
So, make sure the coordination of body movements is well maintained so as not to fall too deep after doing this.
3) Sliding Tackle
Sliding tackles are one of the most satisfying types to do.
However, sliding tackles are very risky if they don’t run smoothly.
Not only fouls, the risk of injury to the two players involved is also higher when making sliding tackles.
Therefore, many consider this technique as the ultimate solution when there is no other way to block the opponent.
When performing this technique, what needs to be considered is control, maneuverability, and recovery speed, aka standing back up.
Those are the types of tackles found in soccer. Hopefully enlightening and adding insight, bro!
