To coordinate pressing and control the space
Use the Space: • Encourage players to utilise the entire field, creating width and depth. • Promote switching play to exploit space on the opposite side. Disguise Intentions: • Attackers should fake toward one goal before turning to score in the opposite goal. Positive Decision-Making: • Encourage confidence and decisiveness in 1v1 situations. Defensive Organisation: • Defenders should stay compact, keep the play in front of them, and shift as the ball moves across the pitch.
