Re: Get me in shape for Club Soccer
Even central defenders' games consist of rather shortish (15-30m) sprints combined with some longer (50-60m) ones. HIIT should be perfect as groundwork for that.
Other than that, try to spend a lot of time with the ball and work a lot on your jumping power. If you can get some ball pendula to improve your header timing, that'd be a good bonus.
You most certainly will have to increase your ball control if you're to challenge the upper levels - whether you're aiming to be a striker or left goal post doesn't really matter.
