Last few days there's 2 players of Russia, stood at the same line, passed back to their keeper and commited a foul = =. It's in futsal world cup though zzz

I believe that part of the rule have been amended and you can back pass to your goalie whether you are the last man ornot. Only thing i know the keeper has only 4 seconds to play the ball back or else it's a foul.

If that's a foul then i believe they still enforce the ruling whereby a backpass to the goalie can only be done after you have passed the halfway line.

Well, I play as GK in futsal. I always have problem when opponent did a high lob passing, then it lands on their players chest, he then turns and volley straight with full power. How to block the shot? The process happened too fast and I easily concede goals when it comes to this situation. By the way, I dived a lot when I save balls, is it good?

If the opponent manage to chest the high ball outside the d-box, technically it's the job of your defender to prevent this from happening. But if the ball travels to the d-box, just use some of the tips i mentioned above for keepers.

Of course keepers need to dive to save those angled shots. Can either dive using the hand to save or stretch your legs to save. Often time a low grounder placed shot to either left or right are the toughest to save.

ken0777, good effort in getting this up...

well probably it will be better if you can categorize the tactics for each player category on the 1st page/post for easy & quicker reference in future for those new readers...

will do that once the pages getting thicker...

Ken0777 why dont u post up some videos of u or ur team doing the aforementioned moves? So that we can have a better idea

futsal aint all about speed.. i believe passing & movement is much more important than speed, not forgetting ball control & first touch..

attack as a unit & defend as a unit, & yes, having good ball skills does make a difference..

Actually; futsal (in it's brazillian origins and played originally on cement or terraflex) is all about passing and speed and movement. Ball control and first touch are by products of the first 3. If you play a slow tempo game; it's gonna be very hard to score against faster teams 'cause there's not much space to run into.

Hence why the English suck at tournament futsal.





For these type of balls; it's important that you can come off your line quick. Remember, the keeper plays as a sweeper when required, so, as it would apply for a defender; timing and your start position is important in coming off your line quick to sweep up these balls as these type of balls should be prevented rather than having to make the save when it is too late (which would be more difficult). In fact; if it's outside the D box, use your head or other parts of your body(as a defender would) to clear ball out. Remember the keeper, has 2 roles to play. Thus; rather than having to make the save; you should learn to avoid having to make the save at all by being able to sweep up at the back. Anticipation, positioning and fast decision-making is key. This applies to all aspects of the GK's play.



Actually; this is a technique applied in Football goalkeeping. As a keeper; I don't think it's quite as applicable in futsal as futsal surfaces are less forgiving than football surfaces and the single leg landing may not be sufficient; which when executed wrongly or if accidents were to happen; could cause bad injuries. To be honest; I tore my knee ligament of my landing leg while performing this jump 10 years ago in a football game.

My current technique in challenging high balls is to build upper body strength through gymwork and to ensure your start position is the best; get to the ball the fastest, and then; using the upper body strength to consolidate and strengthen your end position. Can't really explain the technique in words. If you watch professional futsal goalkeepers; they use a similar method to this to challenge air balls. Most important; get to it first.

Eh...stop spamming here la





QFT !!!

Correct. If i'm not mistaken; tournament futsal still follows the "pass the halfway line before you can backpass" rule. I know the spanish professional league follows this rule.

This is a very demanding demand... actually you can observe alot of this mentioned skills and tactics and also techniques being applied by experienced teams. Just go to your local futsal venue whenever there's a competition. Pretty sure you can see all the mentioned stuff are implemented and used by lotza teams.

Question, if i'm the goalie, when 1v1 with the striker, should I come out from my position and try to intercept him?

XiuKeong,
If you're glozz, you can come out aiming for his legs. In doing so, you will somehow clear the ball.

If you're any other GK that is playing against LYN Futsal, just wait for miketee to shoot sideways or even over the post. Eh, sorry. I meant wait for striker to shoot sideways or over the post.

You dont have to be a keeper for that to happen. He can do it even with no one near him.

What if they move to the side when I'm coming out? Should guess a side to dive?

futsal is based on stamina..i seen a team which use their stamina 100%..doin roaming and move around like they hv two lungs..nvr stop moving and thus ,making the other team exhausted..in the end,winning with a great margin.

Usually in this situation, I dive in front of him, stretch my hands and leg wide to block the shot/ball. 90% success

very scary kena sepak in the face lol...

Don't mind him; he's just jealous that I don't foul and yet I can save 1-on-1s.

But what Meganova said is corrrect; that is more or less it. However; timing is very crucial.
