Focus: Defending and regaining the ball back in key areas of the pitch to create goal-scoring opportunities.
Coaching Points:
• Pressing the ball/delay – Nearest man – quick approach, slow down, side on, arc run to force play in one direction (predict play)
• Support angles and distances to pressing
• Cover arrangements matching movement/runs by opposition player(s) – DO NOT ball watch
• Balance – stop ball going through spaces/gaps to opposition player – get organised
• Control/restraint – judge when/when not to engage player on ball, look over your shoulder around ball and away from ball
• Depth – how far players away from man on ball, units of players and goal
• Compactness – defending players reducing space/time for player on the ball – team shape with regarding the units in the formation condensing the pitch
