What is a tackle in football?

A tackle is a direct confrontation between two opposing players on the pitch, where both try to win or gain control of the ball.

Tackles: Meaning and Consequences in the Game

Tackles are crucial for the course of the game, as they initiate changes in possession, stopping attacks or creating new scoring opportunities. They require not only physical strength and timing but also high technical precision to win the ball fairly. A successful tackle can be a psychological turning point in a game, boosting your team's morale, while a lost tackle can lead to dangerous situations.
