Football defense can be divided into regional defense and staring defense, regional defense is mainly the overall defense, relying on the defensive formation formed between the defenders to curb the opponent's attack, and the staring defense is mainly in the case of one-on-one personal defense, in the process of football combat, the two need to be well combined to play a good effect.
Pay attention to blocking the passing route
Defenders should pay attention to the people when defending, but blocking the ball rather than people, so the defensive players must do everything possible to block the possible offensive routes of the football, and the defensive players always stand on the inside of the offensive and defensive players, that is, the connection between the offensive and defensive players and the goalkeepers.

Pay attention to the mastery of defensive distance
Defenders who see an attacking player enter their defensive zone must quickly step forward to intercept it. When intercepting, the distance between the defender and the attacking team should not be too far and not too close, and it is more suitable for the players on both sides to maintain a distance of one arrow when holding each other, and they can move forward and retreat freely.
Pay attention to delaying the opponent's offensive opportunities
Once the attacking player is in a hurry to get up and pass the ball, the defender can use his lower limbs to block the passing route of the attacking player. Defenders should fully understand the offensive route and action intention of the attacker with the ball, take various methods to delay the attacking time of the attacking player, and win valuable time for the defender to quickly deploy the defense, so that there is time for the receiving player to come and surround the attacking and defensive players, so as to steal the football and break the siege.
Pay attention to the timing of steals
Defenders should pay attention to every dribbling action and intention of the attacking team, and the defenders managed to snatch the ball from the attacking team members as they approached step by step. When the offensive player receives the ball and lands or stops the ball, he should get out of the foot in time, because this is the best time for the defender to steal the football, if the steal is not successful, do not worry, the defender can take a half step back and continue to look for the opportunity to steal.
