DESCRIPTION OF PRACTICE:
Coaching in the game session based on 9v9

ORGANISATION Winning the ball back early


On an area roughly 70x50; depending on

this formation in the game.

distribute throughout in the defending
70X50 (9V9) Inc GKs
third.

KEY OBSERVATION FACTORS:


1. Highest striker encourages distribution to the right and then quickly closes down at an
angle cutting off return to GK and square to right back ( Speed, angle and line of approach
+ aggression)
2. Second striker can now put heavy pressure on the man with the ball.
3. Tight marking of opponents in the vicinity of the ball. Sealing off dangerous space centrally
4. Locking ball on one side as a team to press.
5. Deciding when and where to press. (communication and intercepting/challenging)
6. Press as a unit and attack quickly on the turnover( Patience and alertness)

NOTES:
The striker must cut out passes back across the pitch and lock the ball in on one side. This is the signal to
the rest of the team to get tight and put physical and mental pressure on opponents. They must be patient
and keep discipline before attempting to win the ball but they must work quickly to try and win the ball
back early and high up the pitch.
