Individual, zonal or mixed marketing? Understand how Odair Hellmann commands Santos' set pieces
At a press conference last week, after Santos' 3-0 victory over Iguatu-CE, one of coach Odair Hellmann's responses caught the public's attention due to the wealth of tactical ideas presented. Asked about the way his team defends set pieces and whether the coach would be willing to change his defensive scheme, Odair spoke about zone, individual and mixed marking. But what about these protection methods? Shoot the LANCE! he explained briefly.

No matter what moves the opponent makes, players still defend their positions. This style of writing has organization as a strong point and the distance between the characters and actors as a weak point. Playing one marker per zone (Image: Reproduction) MARKING EACH OTHER It’s the classic ‘everyone gets their own’, where each defender follows an opponent until the end. The strength of this security network is to make it difficult for attackers to move around the environment; The weakest point is that this character is easily manipulated, with blocks or movements to 'drag' the characters around the environment.

Some players are assigned to guard positions and others are responsible for directly marking the antagonists. As you can imagine, both weaknesses are also part of this style. Discussion of a distinct writing style (Image: History) ODAIR'S RESPONSE At the beginning of his response, Odair said that there was no evidence of greater influence of one writing style or another. In fact, there is no difference between zones and corner signs, according to a study published in 2009 at the University of Porto (Portugal). However, this same study showed that mixed security systems – the style used by Santos – tend to be smaller than previous models. - We have had difficulties, due to the nature of the players, in writing and in the duel in defense. If you individualize this marking and create space in the area, you will give your opponents a huge advantage. I have no problem changing. So, in this change of players, to find a solution, they also tend to score through zones with blockers – continues the coach. Blockers, in this case, are players tasked with blocking the flow of attackers, but do not necessarily engage with them until the end. This way, defenders stationed in the zone do not fight for aerial play in a physical situation. This is a common occurrence when there are shorter athletes in the ranks, although an increase in L! shows that Peixe had one of the highest levels of military service in Paulistão. Odair has a clear view of the squad: he thinks the players don't have the qualities to play tough games. At the same time, the team scored 50% of its goals this season from dead balls, a number that the coach himself cited in the last post-game interview. During the last press conference, the Santos leader revealed the development of training to mitigate these team problems. With no games in the coming weeks, fans will have to wait and see the outcome of this process.
