5.2 Dead-ball situations
In modern football, dead-ball situations account for some
20-30% of all goals scored. This is why it is important not
to overlook any details when confronted by this signifi cant
match situation.
Dead-ball situations:
• Offensive (taken by the goalkeeper)
– goal kicks,
– direct and indirect free kicks,
– penalty kicks,
• Defensive (taken by the opponents)
– corner kicks,
– direct and indirect free kicks from a central position,
– direct and indirect free kicks from a wide position,
– penalty kicks.
5.2.1
Offensive dead-ball situations
In research conducted at 43 matches between September
2004 and May 2005, it was discovered that goalkeepers had
3,150 contacts with the ball. Goalkeepers were responsible
for striking the ball in 1,011 offensive dead-ball situations,
The capacity of some players to deliver a dangerous ball into
the penalty area from a throw-in must also be considered.
From the goalkeeper’s point of view, every dead-ball
situation (with the exception of a penalty) is characterised by
four phases:
1. Analysis of the situation and positioning the
defence,
2. The goalkeeper’s positioning,
3. The goalkeeper’s save,
4. The goalkeeper’s distribution.
These four phases require good communication between the
goalkeeper and the defence.
in particular goal kicks and direct and indirect free kicks in
and around their penalty area. A short ball out to a player in
space or a long clearance to a player who is good in the air
can start an attacking move for the goalkeeper’s team.
