ITS IMPORTANT THAT THE 2X HOLDING MIDFIELDERS GET THERE ANGLES AND DISTANCES CORRECT WITH THE 2X CB AND KEEP A GOOD SHAPE AT ALL TIMES.

ALL RECOVERY RUNS MUST BE STRAIGHT LINE RUNS AT PACE.

I WILL BE ASKING MY DEFENDERS CLOSEST TO THE BALL TO DELAY DEFEND AS LONG AS POSSIBLE,TRY AND SLOW THE GAME DOWN, GIVING OUR REMAINING PLAYERS ENOUGH TIME TO RECOVER.

GOOD COMMUNICATION FROM OUR GK IS KEY TO HELPING OUT HIS FELLOW DEFENDERS..

THE DEFENDING RED TEAM MUST BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THE LONG PASS, LONG THROWS AND GOAL KICKS FROM THE GK. AS WELL AS PLAYERS RUNNING AT THEM AND EXPLOITING THE SPACE LEFT BEHIND THEM.
