|
|
|
|
|
6. Decision Making - Pressure / Cover / Help / Communication - |
7. End Product - If we win it, Counter / Delay / Frustrate / stop forward play |
NOTES |
Make practice match like - 2 groups in zone keeping possession - then a game practice |
Must Play offside - get attackers to keep possession in front of defenders - simple |
Attackers get width to pose problems for defenders - Defenders compact - Distances |
Investigate the roles of all three in differing situations - Decision Making & Communication. Defending to WIN back the ball - Team work - Rewards v Down side |
