Coaching points:

- #11 stays deeper to deny ball through central (upon pass to wide player, they press to deny ball down the line)
- #10 stays compact but can press opp. #6 if pass is played.
- Force the ball into FB and press aggressively
- Ball should not be received centrally without pressure
- Quick counter upon winning the ball
