SSG with Counter Pressing Constraints

To develop the team's ability to counter press immediately after losing possession while maintaining structured build-up and overload principles. Focus is on regaining the ball quickly, organising rest defence, and transitioning effectively between attacking and defending phases.

• Emphasise the transition moment — players must react immediately after loss of possession. • Ensure players are positioned to support rest defence while attacking. • Encourage compactness to force the ball around the mini goals. • Look for triggers: bad touch, blind pass, or opponent under pressure — moments to press. • On regain, encourage simple support options and calm decision-making to reestablish shape.
