Скачать или смотреть Rest n Press - Defending in football

DANGER AREA: Occupy this space instead of pressing and leaving it free.
Easier to win here than higher up and we can close off the runs in-behind. (0:02 - 0:05)

PRESSING ZONE:
Press when the ball is in this area. If we can't win the ball, move inside and cover the centre. Only (the) attack presses with (the) midfield and defence dropping to defend deep if (the) press fails. (0:05 - 0:08)

REST DEFENCE: If the ball gets in our final third, our CBs block the middle to slow down the attack, giving the team time to get back and help. (0:08 - 0:10)

COUNTER-ATTACK: We keep our front 4 forward and in dangerous areas so if we win the ball and have the opportunity to hit it back up the pitch, we
have our attackers in positions to attack their goal. (0:10 - 0:14)

RELIEVE PRESSURE: If we win the ball, we must relieve pressure and take a breather. In this example, it's a clearance but playing it back to the GK or holding it up also works. (0:14 - 0:17)

WHAT THIS WILL DO FOR THE BOYS: (0:17 - 0:18)

1. Keep them calm. They panic too much and get erratic when they don't have the ball so being calmer should help them stress less and play more naturally.

2. Gives us a strong structure.

When we press, we leave so much space in our half that one pass through kills us. A rest defence keeps its structure and locks down that game-killer space in the middle.
