  • Specific Match Prep MD -2
  • 2x12Min Blocks 2Min terminal 
  • Teal (4-3-3 +GK)
  • Navy (4-2-4 +GK) Mid block to high Press 
Teal try to play out from the back in a 4-3-3 shape with ball side winger rolling inside and weak side max width to cause problems. Navy execute defensive principles in high press to mid block by staying compact across lanes 2-4. 

Scenarios and Solutions:1.) GK plays to CB in build with Central rotations

- Winger jumps in blocking central passing option and forces outside

- 9 Cuts off pass to GK 

- 10 prevents the build out through the CDM 

- 8 locks on to oppo 8 

- 6 ready to jump to the 10 in case of quick switch but stopping direct ball to their 9

- Navy 2 gets ready to engage oppo LB high to win ball (RCB steps across and back line shifts covering lanes 2-4

- Navy 9 blocks off pass to LCB and their 8 by splitting the gap 

- 10 locks on to their 10

- Navy LW comes inside to lane 4 ready to jump onto Oppo 6 or 10 

- Leave the oppo RW away from goal 

- Navy 6 ready to jump onto oppo 10 

- +1 defensive line - weak side FB in line with their near post to ensure understanding of pitch relevance
