How to reduce recovery time after anaerobic exercise?

I play soccer competitively and my only flaw is that after sprinting all out with the ball in one run, I find it really hard to get back to the physical level that I was at before I sprinted. I keep panting (breathing hard) and my whole body just feels tired. How can I stop this and get my self back to that level again faster?

Speed interval training, for example run 4 x 200m, 2 x 100m and 1 x 50m to start... Google it

I LOVE LEG DAY!!

Do you guys think that guerilla cardio could improve it?

I play soccer and i just recently started running track.  My sprinting coach built me up to a good endurance level so i can run a 200m race going all out and barely slowing down at the beginning.  What i recommend doing is a speed interval workout mention above.  The only thing i would do to change it is going like 6 x 100 m runs all out with complete recovery.  The only way to get better is to push your self.  I hated doing this workout, but in the end it  became really easy and it made me enjoy running more.

I too play a lot of soccer.
 
What i always do (or rather DID when i was playing competitively for University) for pre-season was a combination of HIIT and aerobic training and Plyometric drills ( a combination of box jumps, weighted skipping followed by a 50m sprint all together comprised 1 set. I did 10 sets per Plyometric session)
 
Look into plyometrics - it is awesome for applied strength.
 
Start running outside your team training - do intervals as well as aerobic sessions. Stretching is a MUST before and after all training sessions. A regular massage is VERY beneficial during the season (and even off-season for that matter).
 
I used something similar to the following (this is not including weight training) and it worked really well for me:
 
Day 1 - Rest + stretching + massage
Day 2 - Team Training
Day 3 - Moderate intensity Aerobic session + stretching session
Day 4 - Team training
Day 5 - HIIT + Plyometrics + stretching session
Day 6 - Low-intensity sport-specific training (e.g dribbling cones, penalty kicks, free kicks on goal, juggling) + Pilates/Yoga
Day 7 - Game day
 
Infact i use the same program for cricket as well and its working really well.
 
Hope this helps
