The Interception

The Interception

The interception is a defensive action. In Spanish we say: Interceptación.

Is considered to be a technical skill basic defensive normally realized by defensive players, though every player of football has to to be able to be unrolled correctly realizing this action.

It is the technical action individual defensive by means of which we catch the ball before it is received by the adversary (when the ball is thrown, struck or touched by a teamate of this one), modifying or interrupting the path of the ball avoiding or not the end chased by the launcher (Benarroch Arcos, G. 2011).

There is some possibilities:

1-  The path of the ball is modified with any part of the body but without foreseeing if he avoids or not the end looked by the attacking. Since it can continue in possession of the ball.

2- The path of the ball is equally modified, but the consequences can be:

 2.1- It modifies his path without foreseeing the second play (it is the classic detour).

 2.2- The path is modified proving of the same second action, pass, shot...

To realize a good interception a few qualities are needed as valor, capacity of decision, speed of reaction, intuition, conviction, attention...

It is important to train the technical defensive skills so much as the offensives from low categories. In these categories it is important that all the players, already be attacking or defending realize all the exercises, in order that thus they acquire a wide technical base and could specialize years after in other stages that are not of learning.

Now, we leave a very practical exercise you to train this skill:

- Simulate the interception of balls to the ball with opposition.

The defensive players were placing lightly behind and next to the offensive players. To the sound of the whistle or the voice of control of the trainer both players will go out towards the cone that will be located opposite to them. The defensive player will have to come first that his rival to the aim.
