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

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
