Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): AVFC FE PRESSING 14/10/2019

Pressing (30 mins)

Tactical

We drop off to the half way line and allow the other team to play out, generally we will press and win the ball when the opposition reach the half way line. This is an alternative trap that we would set and spring 20 minutes into the game. The trigger for the high press is the sideways pass between the opposition CD's, the 9 presses the player on the ball but runs goalside making sure they cant play back across the ptch. 7 runs in front of the left back anticipating the interception but also blocking the pass. 4 will do the same to the opposition CM. 10 slide across to block any forward pass into the opposition forward and 8 does the same, making that area of the pitch compact.
