Creating Space in Football
Creating space in football is vital as you need to be in space to receive the ball off players from your
team. Creating space can be for either you to go into or space you’ve vacated so  the ball can be

space for yourself can be done by either asking for the ball in the space you’re already in or by
moving off an opponent to apart of the pitch where no one is. This is done so that you have time

can move to the right and pull the defender with him allowing space to the left of them to become
available so that the centre mid can play the ball through the space vacated to the winger allowing
the attack to build up towards the opponents goal.

Man marking is different as it states in the name, instead of marking a zone like zonal marking you n...
