When catching the ball with both hands, hold the ball in front of your chest and gather your body to protect the ball. When hitting the ball in the air, jump out of the body and fly into the air, parallel to the ground, and stretch out your arms to catch the ball. When landing, the forearms, shoulders, upper body, and lower limbs touch the ground in sequence and assemble to protect the ball.

When jumping to prepare to hold the ball, stretch your whole body into a back arch, quickly extend one arm upwards, with the palm of your hand slightly upward, use the front of your palm and fingers to lift the ball backward and upward, so that the ball goes over the goal crossbar.

8. Goalkeeper throws: In order to buy time to organize a quick counterattack, goalkeepers often throw the ball they get to their teammates with their hands. Throws include one-handed shoulder throws, one-handed underhand throws, hook throws and other actions. When throwing the ball over one hand, stand with your feet forward and backward. Bend your knees slightly and hold the ball with one hand on your shoulder. Before throwing the ball, the arm holding the ball is drawn back, and at the same time the body is turned sideways, and the center of gravity is moved to the back foot.

9. Goalkeeper throwing the ball: A common action for a goalkeeper to pass the ball to a distant partner. Throwing a ball is divided into two actions: kicking a self-thrown mid-air ball and kicking a self-thrown rebound ball. The actions of kicking a self-thrown air ball and kicking a self-thrown rebound ball are basically the same as kicking an air ball and kicking a rebound ball with the front of the instep. However, since the ball is required to be kicked far, the goalkeeper always kicks the ball forward.

Technical action methods for kicking football

In football, the methods of kicking football mainly include the inside of the foot, the inside of the instep, the front of the instep, the outside of the instep, the foot and the heel.

1. Kicking from the front of the instep:

To kick the ball from the front of the instep, you use the first, second, third cuneiform and the end of the metatarsal bone to hit the ball. This hitting part is relatively hard. When kicking a ball with the front of the instep, the swing of the leg is adapted to the natural structure of the human hip and knee joints, and the force direction is consistent with the direction of the ball, and is consistent with the person's daily walking and running movements, so it is convenient to increase the swing amplitude and increase the swing. It's fast, so it's easy to kick the ball hard.

① Kicking a set kick:

Run in a straight line. As your body gets closer to the ball, keep your eyes on the ball closely. When striding for support, the stride length should be large and active. The supporting foot is generally placed 10 to 15 centimeters to the side of the back edge of the ball. The toes are in the same direction as the ball, and the knee joint is slightly bent. While the kicking leg is striding for support, the thigh is pulled back and the calf is bent as far back as possible. While supporting your feet on the ground, arch your hips. While the supporting leg transitions from diagonal support to straight support, the thigh drives the calf to swing from back to front with the hip joint as the axis. When the knee is raised close to the back and top of the ball, the calf accelerates. When hitting the ball, straighten the instep, press the ankle, and hit the ball with the front of the instep in the middle of the back. After hitting the ball, the kicking leg should continue to swing forward with the ball.

②Kicking a ground ball:

When kicking an incoming or forward ground ball with the front of the instep, in addition to correctly completing the main method of kicking a set ball, you should also follow the Depending on the speed of the ball rolling, adjust the position of the supporting foot on the ground. In principle, the supporting foot should be slightly farther back when kicking an oncoming ground ball, and slightly forward when kicking a forward ground ball. Because the ball is still rolling when the supporting foot is on the ground, the time during which the kicking leg swings forward to hit the ball must be included in the calculation.

③ Kick the rebound ball:

When kicking the rebound ball from the front of the back of the leg, you must first accurately judge the ball’s landing point, landing time and rebound angle. When kicking the ball, support the foot on the side of the ball. When the ball is about to hit the ground, the kicking leg's calf is sharply conditioned. When the ball just hits the ground and bounces off the ground, hit the ball with the front of the instep and the middle part of the ball.

　④ Kick the ball in the air

A. Kick the ball sideways: When kicking the ball in the air, you must first determine the route of the ball. and determine the hitting point. When kicking a ball, your body faces the direction of the ball, your supporting foot takes a step forward, your toes point in the direction of the ball, your upper body tilts toward the side of your supporting foot, the thigh of your kicking leg is raised high and nearly parallel to the ground, and then you use your thigh to drive your calf sharply toward the ball. Swing in the direction of the ball, and use the front of the instep to kick the ball in the middle back. During the process of swinging the leg to kick the ball, the body will twist in the direction of the ball. When the ball is about to be kicked, the eyes should always be focused on the ball, the body should be facing the direction of the emergence of the ball, and the direction of the ball after kicking the ball.

B. Kick an overhead kick: When kicking an overhead kick, take a step forward with your supporting foot, bend your knees, lean back your upper body, and try your best to swing the kicking leg upward with the hip joint as the axis. . When the ball lands in front of and above the head, kick the ball backwards with the front of the instep.

2. Kicking with the inside of the foot: Kicking with the inside of the foot uses the triangle formed by the big toe, navicular bone and calcaneus to hit the ball. This part has a larger contact area with the ball and the ball is released smoothly, but with less force.

① Kick the set ball with the inside of the foot:

Action method: When kicking the ball, you should run in a straight line, and your eyes should be on the ball when stepping to support. When your feet land on the ground, your toes should be consistent with the direction of the ball, 10 to 15 centimeters away from the ball, your knees should be slightly bent, and your arms should be open naturally to maintain good body balance. The kicking leg swings from back to front with the hip joint as the axis. During the forward swing, the hip joint abducts, the foot is raised, and the inside of the foot is approximately 90 degrees from the direction of the ball. The thigh drives the calf to swing quickly to hit the ball. When hitting the ball, push the heel forward, tighten the ankle hard, and hit the middle back part of the ball with the inner part of the foot. After hitting the ball, the kicking leg should continue to swing forward with the ball in the same shape as when it was hit.

Kicking a ground ball: The method of kicking a ground ball with the inside of the foot is basically the same as kicking a set kick. The difference is because the ball is rolling on the ground. Therefore, during the process of supporting and swinging the leg to hit the ball, certain aspects of the action method must be appropriately adjusted according to the direction and speed of the ball rolling.

The ball rolls from the head. Before kicking the ball, your body should be facing the direction of the ball and your eyes should be looking at the ball to judge the speed of the ball rolling and consider the time to complete the kicking action. When kicking the ball, the position of the supporting foot on the ground should be slightly further back according to the rolling speed of the ball. Because the ball is still in motion when the support foot hits the ground, be sure to include the time it takes for the kicking leg to swing from back to forward for the ball. The swing leg hitting action generally uses the tapping method. The best time to hit the ball with the foot is when the ball is rolling to the vertical line supporting the toes of the feet.

When the ball rolls forward, you can adjust your running speed to get closer to the ball as quickly as possible. Before kicking the ball, the supporting foot should step forward slightly according to the speed of the ball rolling forward, so that it can be in the correct position when swinging the leg to hit the ball. When hitting the ball with a swinging leg, the swinging method is often used to hit the ball.

② Kick the rebound ball:

When kicking the rebound ball with the inside of your foot, you must first move to the ball’s landing point promptly and accurately according to the arc of the incoming ball, and your body must be facing the incoming ball. The position of the supporting foot is generally far to the ball side. The arc of the Tathagata ball is small and can be moved further back. The timing of hitting the ball with the leg raised is timely and accurately grasped at the moment when the ball lands on the rebound and is about to leave the ground. Use the swinging method to hit the back and middle part of the ball.

③ Kick the ball in the air:

When kicking the ball in the air with the inside of your foot, your body should face the direction of the ball, accurately observe the path of the ball in the air with your eyes, lift your thighs, and raise your calves. Drag behind. When hitting the ball, use the swing of your calf to hit the middle of the back of the ball. If you want to kick the ball high, you can kick the ball to the middle.
