Transition to High press

*Trigger when 9 leaves mid block to close off options back for opposing player (CB in this example)

Example: Short pass to CB, takes space whilst we shift across in mid block

Pressing pair- 9 & near side winger

-9 curves run behind centre back closing option off to other CB and keeper

-11 curves run round to close off option out wide to FB forcing opposing CB into making fast decision

-7 creeps forward if 9 fails to stop switch, once we have forced to wide channel 7 drops back to join temporary double pivot

1st Covering pair- 10 & near side full back

-10 shadows 9's run closing angle for option inside (can follow opposing player or use cover shadow to 'swarm' CB)

-Near side FB shadows near side winger to close option opposing FB



2nd covering pair/trio- 6 & 8 + far side winger

-Near side pivot (6 in example) Moves wide to cover winger

-Far side pivot (8 in example) Moves central to cover space in front of CB's

-Far side winger moves to make up temporary double pivot once 9 has closed off possibility of switch

Balancing trio- 4 & 5 + far side FB

-Shift across field to cover central channel, near side CB may have to follow opposing ST if they make wide channel run
