5v5+2

Improved ability to use up, back, through and switch combinations to progress.

• 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 press 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.
