Current Behavior

When the opponent's #9 receives the ball, instead of creating 3 back line, our #2/3 also pushes up to focus on the secondary runs from the opponent's #6-8-8 (when our midfielders do not drop back to support and defend), leave a gap and 1v1 in/around the danger zone.

Our #4/5 is also giving the opponent's #9 the time and the space to turn with the ball and face our goal

When one of our centerbacks (#4-5) pushes up, we need our other centerback and our fullbacks (#2-3) tuck in to cover in/around the danger zone for the opponent's runs/dribble into our danger zone
