The main focus is when defending soak up pressure and when the ball turns over, pick the correct decsion if its to pass, make the pass strong and when theirs space to run in, have control over the ball and run with pace. When in possession of the ball the aim is to catch the other team out with quick counter attacking football with makong creative runs
