The other time to press is when the reds give away possession, they work hard for 6 seconds to win back. Then sit back and be patient again

Game 2 - Five Minutes

Once a pass is played into another zone, one of the players of the team in possession can move into that grid. Once possession is lost, the nearest player has to recover into the zone that has just been vacated. Defenders can not track the players.

Game 3 - Five Minutes

Players can now dribble from one zone to the next so looking for defenders to make it hard for players in possession.

Teams can still pass from zone to zone and still looking for players to join in when the ball has been passed.

One defender can now track their runner. Looking for team to regain shape when possesion is lost.

Game 4 - Five Minutes

Free play. Players can now move anywhere on the pitch.

Still looking for teams to keep the correct shape, knowing when and where to press.
