Differentiation of the content of technical and tactical training of football players aged 17-18 years on the basis of accounting their functional responsibilities as part of the team

Relevance. The construction of the training process based on the features of competitive activity makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of technical and tactical preparedness. The idea that football players of various playing roles should train with an emphasis on their game specifics is beyond doubt. However, today there is not enough material to implement a differentiated approach to the construction of training. The purpose of the study is to substantiate a differentiated approach to the content of the training process based on taking into account the peculiarities of the structure of technical and tactical actions of football players aged 17-18 years in connection with their role in the team. Research methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observations of competitive activity, methods of mathematical statistics. The results of the study. In the course of the study, the leading technical and tactical actions for each game role were established. In the game of defenders, the following prevails: passing the ball forward for short, medium and long distances, intercepting the ball and fighting for the ball at the top compared to midfielders. In accordance with this, in the training process, it is necessary to choose such tasks so that when practicing team attacking interactions, short, medium and long ball passes forward are the key game techniques. When practicing defensive actions, the emphasis should be on intercepting the ball and fighting for the ball at the top. In the game of midfielders, the following prevails: passing the ball on the "move", "shooting", leading the ball, stroking the opponent and kicking the goal compared to defenders. Therefore, in the content of the game exercises, the midfielder should act as an organizer of the attack and a football player making a key pass for the final shot at the opponent's goal. In the game of the attackers, the following prevails: kicks and head shots at the goal, the opponent's stroke and single combats for the ball at the bottom compared to the defenders. In game exercises, the task of the attackers will be reduced to mastering the ball in tough opposition from the defenders, creating numerical superiority in a separate area of the field with the help of the opponent's stroke and delivering the final blow to the opponent's goal. Conclusion. The features of the composition of technical and tactical actions established in the study, mainly used by football players of specific playing roles, allow us to simulate such exercises in training that will increase the volume and quality of these particular techniques of the game, thereby providing a differentiated approach to the content of technical and tactical training of football players 17-18 years old.
