Trigger Recognition

Improve players' ability to recognise pressing cues, stay composed, and apply controlled pressure effectively.

• React Quickly: Players must scan and recognise pressing cues early. • Controlled Pressure: Focus on body positioning to force play into predictable areas. • Pressing Angle: Approach from an angle to block passing lanes rather than pressing straight on. • Decision-Making: Not every situation requires immediate pressing—players should decide when to engage and when to delay. • Communication: If working in pairs or a team setting, players must signal and communicate pressing triggers.
