Organization
Use a 20x14m wide channel with two attackers trying to reach an end gate. Two defenders start inside. The first defender presses from inside-out while the second defender provides cover and blocks the inside support option.
Coaching Points
First defender shows outside | Second defender stays connected inside | Do not both attack the ball | Pressing angle should use the touchline as an extra defender | Recover centrally if the trap is broken
Progressions
- Allow a third attacker to arrive late inside the channel and test the cover defender's decision.
Regressions
- Use one passive supporting attacker and coach the pressing angles.
