The main form of strength in soccer is called Muscle Power and you consider it the ability to move a load in the shortest possible time.
This ability to quickly develop strength can be trained in the field by engaging exercises that resemble the skills and needs of a match.
A training method is the plyometric where through muscle stretch / shortening cycle strength is generated in a short time and in which we can add specialized football skills.
(Several sport scientists consider the stretch / shortening cycle as a distinct appearance of strength form ...)
