Competitive activity is a kind of an exam on the results of which the athletes' level of training is estimated. To some extent the material presented in this monograph will provide an opportunity, on the one hand, to improve football experts’, especially coaches’ knowledge of the trends in football development, and, on the oth- er, to analyze competitive activity of the football team more specifically, taking into account the quantitative and qualitative indicators, which dis- play the essence of the football game. The monograph depicts the results of a long-term study of competi- tive activity of highly qualified players. It consists of five chapters, each of which presents the material characterizing the main objectives of the study dedicated to the problem of tactics of football teams play. The first chapter highlights the evolution of football tactics. The gen- eral aspects of the game are stated, and the retrospective analysis of four stages of football development, namely naive, romantic, rational and to- tal, is made. The second chapter presents the authorial methodology of control over the competitive activity in football both of players of different roles, and of the team on the whole. The third chapter is devoted to the analysis of the results of the study of highly qualified players' competitive activity. Model values of inte- gral estimation of technical and tactical activity of players and teams are defined therein. The fourth chapter focuses on the tactical models of competitive ac- tivity in football. Among these are the four tactical models of play in football: TM A, TM B, TM C, TM D. In this chapter the main components of tactical models of competi- tive activity of highly qualified football teams are defined. 5 The fifth chapter provides the analyses of the competitive activities of the national football teams at the 2018 World Cup. The national teams play is characterized, depending on tactical models. The author will respectfully and gratefully accept all comments and suggestions on the problem under study.

General aspects of football tactics Management of competitive activity in football is based on such concepts as strategy, tactics, tactical training, system, style, rhythm, pace, combination, etc. G. D. Kachalin (1986), a well- known Soviet coach, describes a strategy as an integral part of sports, which subordinates its other parts — sports leadership, tactics, etc. It defines the main direction in the players' training, provides for the development of a plan for the distribution of forces on the long path of competitions and solution of a number of organizational tasks. Strategy is the most capacious concept in the system of train- ing and competitive activity of football players. Preparing for team competitions strategy includes the following managemental actions of a coaching staff: team building, physical and functional train- ing, game formation, determination of the lineup, determination of the starting eleven, the choice of tactics for each match, operative management of the game in the match. An effective solution to all these tasks enables us to talk about a strategically correct approach to the management of a football team. If a strategy is considered only in the competitive aspect, then first of all it is necessary to strategically correctly plan the com- petitive activity in the competition on the whole — in a short- term or a longer one, as an example, the national champion- ship. This raises the challenge of purposeful team preparation on the basis of the chosen strategy for every single game. For this the game tactics is needed. 8 Tactics is a part of a strategy, its subordinate and attendant. If a strategy presupposes achieving the ultimate goal, the tactics solves the problem of a single match (G. Kachalin, 1986). Football experts characterize tactics as the organization of the players'

  • A HISTORY of CLUB CRICKET in COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One
    A HISTORY OF CLUB CRICKET IN COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One..........The eighteenth century In the beginning The first recorded cricket match in Durham was at Raby Castle in 1751. It was five years after the Duke of Cumberland and bayoneted Redcoats slogged through the county’s mud on their way to the Battle of Culloden. Defoe’s account of his travels through Great Britain had not long been published. Defoe found nothing remarkable in Darlington or Chester-le-Street except “dirt” but was impressed by Lumley Castle and acknowledged Lumley coal the best in the country. He thought Durham a “compact neatly contriv’d city” where clergy lived “in all the splendour and magnificence imaginable”. Durham cathedral and Saint Cuthbert’s remains were a shrine for pilgrims but the city was a vulnerable haven riding on a cut-throat sea. The poor lived in slums; the populace was prey to vagabonds, footpads and highwaymen. The Bishop of Durham bewailed “the scorn of religion”. His flock scratched a living on the land or burrowed beneath it for lead and coal; their leisure centred upon drinking and blood sports like cock-fighting. In 1742 John Wesley came across a village “inhabited by colliers only, and as such had been always in the first rank for savage ignorance, and wickedness of every kind. Their grand assembly used to be on the Lord’s Day on which men, women and children met together to dance, fight, curse, and swear, and play chuck-ball, span farthing, or whatever came to hand.” Somehow, sometime the game of cricket took root in these parts.

    NEPEANNEPEAN HOTSPURSHOTSPURS SOCCERSOCCER CLUBCLUB BORISBORIS BAJAGIC,BAJAGIC, CSACSA ““AA”” LicensedLicensed CoachCoach TACTICAL EVOLUTION OF THE GAME From Alcock's Dribbling Game of 1860 to 4-3-3 Formation of XXI Century ALCOCKALCOCK’’SS DRIBBLINGDRIBBLING GAMEGAME The earliest soccer “formation” emerged in 1860 when soccer teams were gradually splitting into two camps –association football and rugby football. Until 1860 most codes prohibited forward passing altogether necessitating forward movement of the ball by dribbling only. C.W. Alcock and his club Wanderers FC, the chief proponents of the dribbling game, argued that it represented pure soccer, as distinct from rugby where passing the ball (albeit by hand) was a distinctive trait. In the dribbling game, there were seven (or eight) forwards, each a dribbling expert, one or two fullbacks in support of the attack, and one fullback to challenge the opposing dribbler. ALCOCKALCOCK’’SS DRIBBLINGDRIBBLING GAMEGAME GOALKEEPER FULLBACK RIGHT HALFBACK LEFT HALFBACK FORWARDS SCOTTISHSCOTTISH PASSINGPASSING GAMEGAME Queen’s Park Glasgow, the Scottish national team, and the London club Royal Engineers created the first tactical revolution during the 1870s when they introduced the concept of passing among their players. The soccer-rugby split had occurred by this time, and the passing game was the first sign that soccer was maturing. To accommodate the increased goal scoring potential, another fullback was added on defense, thus reducing the forward line to six players. The Scottish method was eventually perfected by the English amateur club Corinthians during the 1880s, and became commonplace. Ultimately, it signaled the birth of modern soccer SCOTTISHSCOTTISH PASSINGPASSING GAMEGAME GOALKEEPER RIGHT FULLBACK LEFT FULLBACK RIGHT HALFBACK LEFT HALFBACK FORWARDS THETHE CLASSICCLASSIC FORMATIONFORMATION 22--33--55 The development of passing techniques spelled the need for tighter, more sophisticated defenses, and in the late 1870s a third halfback was seen on some teams (Cambridge University, 1977 and Wrexham F.
