Defending 1 v 1 in the center channel. Player 1 passes to play 2 creating a new angle for the defender. Defender sprints to meet the attacker as high as possible. Defender works to show the attacker one side while being patient and waiting for an opportunity to tackle. Communication between GK and defender while not falling all the way back into the box.
