ORGANISATION

We distribute ourselves, in pairs around the field. Each pair with 1 ball.

DESCRIPTION:

Simple warm-up game in which the objecNve is to TOUCH another couple WITH THE BALL. We distribute ourselves in pairs and with a ball, we make passes moving freely all over the field. One pair (in red) must touch any other pair while running away passing the ball. They must TOUCH with the adapted ball, not throw it.

The touched pair keeps it and pays with 5 burpees.

Only the player with the adapted ball can be touched.

OBJECTIVE

To touch, catch, ... , another couple. Work to be controlled during the exercise: 1.- individual passing and receiving technique

2.- passing - receiving in movement 3.- Improve visual field and coordinaNon as we have to pass and look for other couples.

ORGANISATION

Divide all the players into 4 rows according to the drawing, we are going to perform the exercise on both sides of the field.

DESCRIPTION

A passes to B, and B returns the ball to A (pass and go). The exercise is completed as shown in the drawing. The exercise is done simultaneously on both sides of the field.

OBJECTIVE To work on:

1.- pass and go 2.- individual technique (ball) 3.- Attention and concentration to change the roll from one part of the field to the other.

INTRODUCTION

The current technological context and the ease of access to information, video editing software and media within the clubs, have meant that scouting both your own and your opponent's scouting has gained a lot of weight in recent years. Scouting your opponents may not give you a definite advantage in winning the match, but what is certain is that not doing so puts you at a serious disadvantage. I will now explain the working method we use, what we look for, how we filter all the information and how we transmit it to the players, hoping that it can bring some new ideas to our fellow coaches.

WHAT DO WE LOOK FOR IN OUR SCOUTING WORK?

Together with my assistant coach, Javier Campo, we watch and cut all the matches of the day, the 10 matches that take place in the category. We use the XPS programme and a cuÑng method in which we analyse and study each team's acack, obtaining a lot of staNsNcal data (apart from the video cuts) that we use to analyse the opposiNon. The idea of this way of cuÑng was given to me by Ignacio Moyano, who uses the same method in the Asobal League.

What do we get with this laborious work?

1. All the individual cuts of all the players in the league. (Used in scouNng, and used to decide future signings). 2. All offensive and defensive acNons of all teams in the league. 3. Detailed staNsNcs of all teams in the league (number of possessions, % of counteracack situaNons, number of turnovers per game, % of effecNveness, etc...)

DATA COLLECTION AND FILTERING

The first thing we will do is to get the staNsNcs that we consider about the opposing team and we will include them in the presentaNon. These are data that will tell us many things about the opponent's game model and their weak points in order to get the maximum advantage.

Number of possessions and percentage study of them (Goals, 7M, Missed shots and Losses) both in posiNonal acack and counter acack.

Goalkeeper saves: We selected about 12 saves in each category (6 goals and 6 saves approximately) from the following categories:

1. Throws from 6 metres 2. Throws from 9 metres 3. Throws from the pivot 4. Throws from the winger 5. Shots on counter-acack 6. Throws from 7 metres

CollecNve Offensive Play: We will select the most repeated acNons that we have analysed previously, looking for those that have a clear tacNcal intenNon, let's not forget that the objecNve is to be able to anNcipate the opponent, and for this we will have to see what they play the most (pracNcally all the teams play the same starts), but above all what tacNcal intenNons they are looking for in them.

ESTUDIO JUEGO COLECTIVO OFENSIVO

CRUCES

CENTRAL– EXTREMO + CRUCE

CRUCES CON PIVOTE EN CENTRO

Defensive Collective Play: 90% of the teams in the División de Honor Plata have 6:0 as their main defensive system. To analyse this, we always select and look at the same things:

1. How do they make the changes of opponent in front of crosses? They make a change with a pivot, the central defender who comes out stays on top... 2. How do they defend the pivot? Do they defend him in front, behind, with more than one player? 3. How do you deal with the pass from the winger? This situation is very important for us, as our attacking phase always involves this situation, and we look at how the opposing team acts in this situation in order to adapt with the variants we have.

4. Pressure work: We also look to see if they work on even and odd pressures, and at what moment they do it, in order to adapt to them. 5. Outside help: In our model of play it is key to work towards the wingers, so we see how the opposing second and outside players act and we show this to our players. 6. Weak points of the system: Finally, we look at the weakest defenders or defensive zones of the rival, to try to exploit them to the maximum, as well as to see what defensive tendencies these players have to punish them as much as possible.

7. 8. To finish the defensive study, we add the cuts, in a more generic way, of other defensive systems that they can use (usually 5:1) and if they have any emergency or end of game defence in case of being down on the scoreboard.

InequaliNes:

o Acack in superiority: We select cuts of the most repeated acNons, to decide during the video session the concrete way in which we are going to defend them. o Acack in inferiority: The first thing we look at is whether they have any closed 6x6 acNon without goalkeeper, or if they play 5x6 (very few teams do this). In case they play 6x6 with their usual acNons we will keep defensive rules. o Defending in superiority: Do you make any system changes or do you keep the defensive system you are using? o Defence in inferiority: Above all, we will make cuts to the performance of their outside players, if they come a lot with the open pivot or if they increase their pressure work.

DEFENSA EN INFERIORIDAD INFERIORIDAD: POCA EFICACIA, IMPARES EXTERIORES

Counter-acack: We look at how they play in the three phases (for me) of offensive transiNons:

• First wave: AnNcipaNon of the wingers, long goalkeeper throws, how many passes they usually use to get to shoot. • Second wave: Do they play it free or with some closed acNon, do they make acack defence changes or do they run with those who have defended? • Counter-acack: Same idea as in the second wave.

SEGUNDA OLEADA: OJO A DESLIZAMIENTO DE PIVOTE. VELASCO Y DE LA RUBIA MUCHO PELIGRO

CONTRAGOL: A VECES VA EL EXTREMO DERECHO SIN BALÓN, NO DESCONTARSE

1. First wave: Do they anticipate the retreat or do they stay on the rebound/protesting, etc... Does the goalkeeper come out to cut off long passes? 2. Second wave: Do they always make attacking/defensive changes, even if the opposing team is moving the ball up? How does the player coming in from the change act, does he press, does he get down the line quickly? 3. Counter-attack: Same idea as the second wave.

From all the parameters in the different phases of play we have discussed above we choose between 5 and 8 significant video cuts to watch with the players in the video session and include in the presentation we will give to the players.

After each phase of play we put a slide with the keys of the game that we must be clear about and fulfil as a priority.

In addition, in each phase of the game, in the return matches, we add cuts from the match in which we have been successful in fulfilling the keys that we give from the match.

Depending on the matches and trips we have to face, we will have different micro-cycles to structure the work, which will be as follows:

The players receive a presentation of the scouting of the opponent in PowerPoint format, with all the data that we have seen previously, on Monday.

There is a part of the work that is individual for each player, and it is related to the rival players and goalkeepers, we do not see the individual videos of the rival as a group, and each player individually sees the videos of those players and goalkeepers that interest him the most. To my surprise, and as an anecdotal fact that may explain the good results we are having, on one of the last trips with the team, I discovered that many of them got together the morning before the game to see the individual scouting part and each one was explaining what he thought, the truth is that this made all the work we do worthwhile.

For example, the day we are going to work on our defence + counterattack, we always watch the video of the opponent's attack, offensive inequalities and retreat, so that later in training we can prepare the adjustments that we are going to make in the match.

1. Video acack of the opponent 2. PuÑng into acNon 3. Non-Specific Individual Defensive TacNcs/Technique Work 4. Goalkeeper warm-up 5. Specific Individual Defensive TacNcs/Technique work 6. Group TacNcs Work 7. Defensive CollecNve Play + Counter Acacking 8. Uneven Defence Work 9. 7-metre throws 10. Return to calm

What we are looking for in these match preparaNon sessions at the end of the week is for the acack to be as close as possible to what we are going to find when we work on the defence and vice versa, so that we can make the best possible adjustments.

This entails the added difficulty of a high demand for concentraNon and acenNon in the video session to be able to imitate a model of play that is not their own and hence the importance of the players having good informaNon about the opponent and ease of study.

PRE-MATCH TALKS

Within our work there are two pre-match talks, when we play at home, and when we have a trip.

Home games: 10 minutes before the start of the game we go into the dressing room to remind the players of the key points we have been looking at and talking about during the week, so that the players have the informaNon fresh, the talk lasts no more than 7-8 minutes.

Away games (long trips with hotel): In this case we take advantage of the fact that we normally have the morning free to do a complete review of the scouNng, which will not last more than 20-25 minutes, revisiNng some of the most significant cuts, and in which I try to get the players to parNcipate a lot by giving them the soluNons that we have been looking for during the week. Aferwards in the pavilion, the talk will be directed almost enNrely to moNvaNonal aspects, as the technical subject is already well known and repeated.

With all this information that we obtain from our opponents, the scouting work and the weekly training work, we arrive at the match with a clear idea of what the keys are that can make us win, even so, for our peace of mind during the match, we always carry a sheet or match script with all the information about the players and rotations that we are going to use, the keys to the match, and possible Plans B and C that we are going to carry out in case Plan A doesn't work out. We carry this sheet in paper format as a lifesaver in case we go blank at some point during the match, although we rarely have to take it out.

Below is an example of a match script:

CONCLUSIONS

The work we carry out to study our opponents (cuÑng all their matches, selecNng the video cuts, puÑng together the presentaNon and transmiÑng it to the team) takes up many hours during the week, and what is clear to us is that this work does not guarantee that we will win the match or obtain results. The only thing that does guarantee us is that we will arrive at the match as well prepared as possible, and that a team will rarely be able to surprise us, as we know all our opponents very well, both individually and collecNvely.

On the other hand, taking the Nme to see where we can hurt our opponents is one of the most beauNful parts of being a coach, when you feel that you have hit the key it is very comforNng, and if on top of that you are successful it is an unbeatable feeling.

"The most wonderful thing about my profession is to imagine the game that is going to happen tomorrow. With the players I have, with the tools I have, with the opposi-on, who I know what they do, dreaming about what is going to happen" .
