Description

Everyone has their own views on the "best" way to defend corners. This method is a hybrid, zonal/man-marking method. Some teams have one on the post, some have 2.

Only the front post is marked in this example.

If the attacking team take a short corner, the front post player and the front space player go out.

Organisation

One player is always nominated to occupy the "front post space".

4-5 yards from the touchline and a yard in front of the 6 yard box.

1 player is always left up the pitch, on the same side as the corner kick.

3 players along the 6 yard line to attack high balls in the "zone" in front of them.

4 players man-marking

Zonal players should have overlapping arcs of responsibility.

Remember "Early shout - sorts it out!".

Generally speaking, players coming AWAY from the goal should have priority over Man Markers to head away.

All press to the 18 yard line then re-assess.
