• -transition of the wing players without ball and with ball,cross for the opposite side

• -”YUG” cross

• -CB cross winger,BP cross opposite side for BP or for winger

• -

• Numerical inferiority:player substitut for goal keeper

• Just few goals in the empty goals

• -Sometimes,closed to the end of the game some teams try to play 7:6

• The meaning of the winger’s performance is important

• Using the fast thow off:NED scored 12 goals

• -Numerical superiority:the teams used mostly short transition from LB,RB position

• „BL1,BL2”

• Generaly the teams used 6:0 system,but the changed it for 5:1 and 5+1 particularly in numerical superioriti

• MNE played 5:1

• SWE and DEN changed 6:0,5:1,3:2:1 system during the game ,sometimes during one attack,if it was nessesery

• The teams used „ball traps”in the defence
