FUTSAL PATTERNS OF PLAY

DEFENCE

The major aim of defense is to avoid opposition from scoring.
Another aim is to take the ball from the opposition. These two objectives are closely related to each other. Most of goals in FUTSAL are
scored from the 'D' area, so this 'D' zone and the area close to it
should be very well protected
Areas in the middle must be protected better than areas on the sides
since the probability of scoring from these areas is higher. There
are two widely used defensive structures 2-2 (square) and 1-2-1
(rhombus). The goalkeeper is the last line of defense and must be
made as energetic as possible.

ATTACK

Keeping control of the ball is the key of victory in attack.
When your team controls a ball then you can score and the
opposition cannot. Passing is the extremely vital element of an
attack. Moving without the ball is another very important element of
an attack. Always try to give the player with the ball extra than one
alternative for a pass. There are different attacking systems in FUTSAL
and you can decide to use one or a number of them, but don't play
like robots use your mind, spontaneity, skills and creativity.
Most general offensive systems in FUTSAL are 2-2 (square) 3-1
with 4-0.
