Ball recovery is the moment or action in which a team wins the ball back from the opponent. This can happen through sliding tackles, tackles, intercepting passes, or purposefully closing down spaces.
Why is ball recovery important?
Ball recovery is a fundamental aspect of the game, as it forms the basis for the transition from defense to offense and is crucial for controlling the flow of the game. Quick and effective ball recovery allows a team to put the opponent under pressure, initiate attacks, and dictate the pace of the game. It is often the trigger for dangerous transitional moments.
