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

In a structured and carefully planned way, the Club aims to encourage creativity in order to build players capable of winning individual duels. To achieve this, Vozão will begin adopting extended one-on-one sessions at the end of its daily ball-training activities.

Simulating real match scenarios, the training sessions will be divided into one-on-one situations 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, with their backs to goal and after controlling the ball while at a disadvantage.

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

To encourage participation and competition among the players, Mais Querido will grant awards 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.
