Description

What:

  • Improve the mentality, reaction, and organization of counter press when possession is lost (As group and individuality) 
  • Improve the ability to recognize and react when counter press is beat or broken. 

Where:

  • Everywhere on field 
  • Everywhere on field, where counter press is applied.

Who:

  • Players closest to the ball (1st&2nd defenders)
  • Players closest to the ball (1st defenders) and players near and further then the ball (2nd & 3rd defenders)

When:

  • The transitional moment of when we lose possession
  • When we cant win the ball back within 7 seconds/1st or 2nd defender is beat/opposition plays ball to break line and switch poa

Why:

  • To regain possession as quickly as possible and prevent the opposition from progression up the field.
  • To prevent opposition attacking with a numerical advantage, space, and speed.

IF COUNTER PRESS IS BEAT OR BROKEN: Get centrally behind the ball to delay until we get numbers back to re-press.

Non-Focus Team: Team in possession.

  • Structured positional play. Create Width and Depth in every attack.
  • Attract to break. 
  • Finding the 6/8 to break lines
