Pressing in Front Third 4-3-3 (25 mins)

9v8 Game, trying to coordinate high press (4-3-3)

GK starts with balls, red team try to play out and score in mini goals, Blue team try to win ball back and score in big goal.

Coaching Points:
Focus is on Blue Team.

ST must split centre backs and try to prevent the CB in possession being able to switch play.

Wingers must press CB when they can but keep RB/LB in their shadows to effectively take them out of the game. Wingers are vital and must try to dictate that the CB plays the ball centrally to where we 3 CMs can press on this trigger.

CM's must be tight to their man and anticipate / intercept passes.

Wide defenders for blue can be encourage to try to gamble and predict a pass to Red RB/LB to then get pressure and force a turnover of possession.
