Quboid Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 What are channels? I've heard this word used in football many times and never really been sure what it means and it's not something you can Google (searching for "football channels" just tells you what TV station shows NFL ). I know it's something to do with gaps between opponents - between full backs and centre backs? What does "moving into channels" or "working the channels" actually mean?

KYMYK Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 It's a synonym with flanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ms998 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I always took it to mean the gaps between fullback and central defender. Not quite down the middle, but not on the wing either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quboid Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hmm, OK, it seems to be what I thought. Good to know. I wouldn't say that's synonymous with flanks - that would be outside the full back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess you're right but for example a winger can't move into channels. It's mostly for central midfielders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
