Specific Practice to stop 10 getting time on ball

Shape: Red 4-3-3 (missing midfielder and wingers)

Blue 4-4-2 diamond (missing an 8 and 6)

- Blues have fullbacks to tempt red team to press and leave more space in middle for 10 to receive the ball in more space

- The 2 9s also occupy both centre halves and gives the blue 10 more of a chance to move into in the middle

Response to stop 10

- Red 9 presses the blue 4 bending his run to force the ball one way

- Red 6 and 8 pinch the blue 10

- Red 8 blocks passing lanes into the 10

- Red 6 sticks to the 10 and remains tight and goal side to have instant pressure and little time if the blue 10 receives the ball

- The red centre halves mark the inside shoulders of the blue 9s and the full backs sit narrow

- If blue full backs get on the ball let them have it until they reach the blue line then full back engages blocking passes to middle, body shape pushing them out wide
