Coaching Sessions

Attacking transitions

Attacking

This session will emphasise winning balls from pressing situations and looking to play the first pass forward to initiate our attacking transition.

Pressing principles

Defending

When we press, we need to think not just about winning the ball but about how to turn it into chances and ultimately into goals.

This session is focused on our ability to counter-press. This is an essential behaviour in our game model and it’s independent of formations. We have some element of counter-pressing in almost everything we do on the pitch.
