Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Burnley's low-block

Description

Burnley's 4-4-1-1 low-block under Sean Dyche

• Maintain a deep and narrow defence when out of possession
• Stay compact at all times
• Defend in a low-block to reduce space between lines
• Force team in possession to go sideways or backwards
• If opposition cross, they're made to cross from deeper, less favourable zones
• Defenders position themselves to block shots and win aerial duels
• When given the opportunity, clear the ball and push up the pitch
