摘要：This paper highlights some ways to improve the execution time of offensive and defensive tactical actions, the way in which they influence the increase of the football player’s specific speed. This aspect was experienced on a football team of 17-19-year-old junior from the Gică Popescu Football Academy, which participated in the Elite League Championship corresponding to their age. After the application of specific teaching methods, significant progress was registered at the level of all tested parameters. These football players carried out attack and defense actions with high speed, which has the opposing teams on the hip. To meet these requirements, the player must find proper spots in the free space according to each situation, to control the ball in speed with any part of the body, to dribble in speed, to anticipate the opponent’s move, to be able to easily overtake defensive players. The player is aware of every move and makes decisions before his opponent does, performs technical-tactical procedures in high speed conditions. A coherent integrated training, with higher indices of physical development and a high level of knowledge of the game, leads to high performance, which requires players’ rapid reactions to the opponents’ actions and fast-paced game. Conclusive results were recorded in all tests: speed without the ball, execution speed of offensive tactical collective actions, but also in tests applied through defensive collective tactical actions of pressure pressing performed after a careful analysis of the field positions of the opposing players. In conclusion, the results obtained in the paper recommend this way of approaching teaching, which can be materialized in an effective model of how a football team should act and participate.
