Coaching Points Attackers - Possession with a purpose is key. - Break pressure with intelligent combinations. - Backwards passes separate lines vertically. - Sideways passes separate units horizontally. Defenders - Press Aggressively, but with intent. Wait for a pass back or a loose touch. - First Defender presses, and shows the player on the ball one way to make the pass predictable. - Other defenders provide cover & immediately presses the pass. Attacking Transitions - Player who wins the ball is the most vulnerable. They will be pressed immediately so release the ball quickly. - Find teammate facing forward. Defensive Transitions - Change of attitude to aggressive defence.
