Description

Building out from 1v1 defending and focusing on defending outnumbered. Focus on the following:

Recovery runs - what are they and where are you looking to protect

Delaying 1st attacker - how and why?

Body shape on approach - danger and ball can you see both? where is attacker, where is support, where is the goal 

Compact and narrow shape - Protection of central areas and allowing ball to move out wide while we adjust to new positions for protection 

Decision making - Why do we delay, how can we support our team-mates? where is the danger?
