With the goal of restoring the essence and inventiveness of Brazilian football, Ceará is launching the “Forming Dribblers” project at Cidade Vozão, a pioneering initiative in the Northeast. Recognized as a club that develops and uncovers talent, the main aim of the initiative is to promote the development of creativity, courage, and the ability of young athletes to change matches through dribbling.

In a structured and planned way, the Club seeks to foster creativity in order to build players capable of winning individual duels. To do so, Vozão will begin adopting, in its daily training sessions, extended one-on-one drills at the end of ball-work activities.

Simulating real match scenarios, the training sessions will be divided into one-on-ones and attacks with a numerical disadvantage, one against two. In these exercises, the athletes will face defensive pressure and experience attacking situations down the flanks, positioned with their backs to goal and after controlling the ball at a disadvantage.

In addition to developing dribbling attackers, the one-on-one training will also help build skills in Vovô’s defenders. The center backs will improve qualities such as positioning, timing in challenges and cover, as well as clearances and aerial duels.

To encourage participation and competition among the players, Mais Querido will grant prizes and recognition, based on evaluation criteria, to those who perform best in training. The performance indicators range from successful dribbles and shots to fouls won.
