Screen 1

3x6 minutes 


Problem 1 - 9 not committing to the press and the team are narrow and compact - Winger stopping the ball into the FB


Solution - Cb to step in with the ball to draw the striker across. Then switch to opposite centre back who can step in and draw out a midfield player.


The CB needs to engage the winger and the cm needs to play between the lines. This will give the cb two options. Straight to the full back or to the full back through the midfielder.


What if the 9 stands in the passing lane between centre backs - Play through the midfielder who will look to play first time


Coaching points

Ball speed 

Confidence to step in and draw players out 

CB's to split as wide as possible 

Full backs high and wide

wingers rolled inside to occupy fullbacks and a CDM

9 central and high to occupy both CB's


Once the press is beaten and the ball is wide

Opposite winger and 9 in the box

10 to get into the box

2 midfielders attacking the edge

Opposite fb to narrow up in case the blue team turn the ball over

CB's stay 2v1 - one slightly ballside, the other to cover behind

Problem 2 - Winger have gone narrow, stopping central passes


A similar set up, but this time block the wingers are playing narrow.


FB needs to be higher than the winger when receiving the ball to keep him out of the game. FB trying to engage full back.

Red winger making the movement from in to out.


What if the CDM tracks the winger - the ball into the 10 will be on
