Build-up against direct pressure
This session is all about build-up play against direct pressure. It includes focus on 1v1, player-to-player pressure, provoking pressure, and blind side movement.
This session is all about build-up play against direct pressure. It includes focus on 1v1, player-to-player pressure, provoking pressure, and blind side movement. We begin with an introductory drill to get the players used to dealing with all these elements in small, tight spaces as well as the timing of passing and receiving, and then moves into 11v11, building up from the back against different types of pressure - some plus-one, some player-to-player. This session is intense and focused, and we would usually run it on MD-2.
