Description

Pressure from the first defender and cover from the second. The topic of pressure from the first defender has already been worked on this season but now is a good opportunity to test for understanding as it is very much involved in teaching the cover portion of this training.

Technical Angle of support (making sure you are able to stop the penetrative pass/shot) Distance of support (making sure that you are able to tackle the attacker immediately if the 1st defender is beaten.

Tactical Transitioning from the first defender to the second as well as using body position to dictate where the play is going to go.
