Organization
Build-up team uses two centre-backs, a 6 and fullbacks against a compact pressing unit. Pressing side holds until the ball travels wide, then the nearest player jumps while teammates lock central and inside options.
Coaching Points
Protect the 6 before chasing the ball | Travel while the pass is moving | Winger curves run to block the return | Midfield shifts behind the press | Far side stays compact
Progressions
- Allow build-up side to switch through goalkeeper or far centre-back.
Regressions
