Defensive Walkthrough

11v11 Defensive Shape Walkthrough

-Use Cones/Flags/Balls to mimic shape of opponent

-High pressure def. vs 4-4-2 (roles, managing space, etc.)

-Discuss baiting to play out then GO ALL OUT!

-Coach weak side while in possession

-Stay COMPACT vertical and horizontal (25-30 yards)

-Predict! Take up best position to execute your role

-Go on release trigger! Pass from x to y

-Body shape and positioning is KEY, funnel inside in their half

-First player goes to make it predictable, NOT TO WIN THE BALL, do your job!

-MF 3: Stay connected, and COMMUNICATE

PROBLEMS

-SPOA - Who Goes? - Solution: OB or CM: How do we decide? Whoever is closest! (Then slide!)

-ST dropping in - what do we do? CDM screens, CB be ready to step (Is the team going long as well?)

Roles

-8/10 = Communicate w/9 to decide who to mark, force everything central

-6 = Communicate to 8/10 and screen CB's, still staying close enough to 8/10 to cover (space between lines)

-2/3 = Look to step in to wide player when ball side if closest. Communicate with CM if you want them to go. Then stay close enough to cover

-4/5 = Look to step in to MF to deny penetrating passes, move your 6 left, right, up, down. Hold OB's accountable, particularly in dealing with wingers

-1 = Play high off line to collect through balls, coach weak side and stay engaged with back line
