Action composed of individual and / or collective evolutions that are carried out in a short space of time, usually unforeseen (although the actions must be established and foreseen strategically) when the attacking team loses the ball, which continues to be in play but controlled by an opposing player.

In this case we will work on the above in the defensive sub-phase -1- to avoid the effective control of the ball by the opponent, a quick attack or a counterattack, and in the best of cases recover the ball.

If the ball is lost during the game in our starting zone, the disposition of the players who are not in the orientation of the game -sub-phase 0- (and that of those who perform the emergency support) must solve the problem avoiding the fast and effective game of the opponent (intense pressure, retreat towards our goal, lack of tactics,...).

If the ball is lost in a direct kick of goalkeeper or goal,it will be what is foreseen in the strategy that will allow us to neutralize the situation and the subsequent recovery of the ball.
