Defending from the front
Reds have to try and score in the two red goals. Blues have to try and stop
them/win the ball/try and score in the main goal. If blues win the ball then they have only 10 seconds to score (quick transition to push session topic).
Key Points:
I- (When ball is with CB) Closest striker puts pressure on the CB while the other striker gets into a position where the ball can’t be passed into the CMs and close enough to the other CB to put immediate pressure/steal the ball
– (When ball is with the FB) Closest striker puts pressure via a curved run to block off the pass backwards to the CB (forcing the play down the line/into players). Furthest striker drops into prevent the pass into the middle of the pitch/CMs.
– Midfielders pull across to make area compact
– Communication (both verbal and visual i.e trigger points)
– Defending technique
