CB and CDM Dropping

Constant repetition of playing out from the back and attacking in the final third.

Scanning & Awareness • Defenders must check their shoulders and identify pressing triggers before receiving. Passing Speed & Angles • Encourage quick, sharp passing to create space & avoid pressing traps. Movement After Passing • Players should not remain static after a pass; they must reposition to provide support. Decision-Making • Recognise when to play short to build or when to bypass pressure with a longer ball. Controlled Transition • Ensure smooth progression from defensive to midfield zones without rushing play.
