Adding 2 Holding Mid makes a big difference. Now we have to pay attention to the distance between out lines. To make sure we understand, center mids can not get out of their zone. Place the zone high enough. If Defense plays too low few time, they will realize why once explained to them. Distance between lines is key. Keeper off its line is important too.


Coaching Points:

- Same as previously.

- Focus on Distance between lines.

- Back 3 adjust based on center mid.

-Quick counter attack transitioning from strong to weak side
