Key Coaching points:

-Showing one way from the front. Defending team to come in make centre of the pitch compact - mark the 2 CM's of the opposition.

-Deepest player screening the front. Distances between centre bacs. When to press high when to drop into a pressing line

-Try to communicate from behind the play, defenders and GK work together, quick precise communication.

-Try to deny space when the attacker has a bad touch, can the players recognise trigger points?
