New formation - role of front 3

Key Coaching Points

Front 3 - only press when opposition come into middle third, happy to allow possession in front but when coming into the middle third press agressively to try and win back possession. If pressing and the other team retreat backwards, return to starting position.

Must not come out of shape too early as this will open up gaps for the other team to attack.

Must stay in shape and not overlap each other - eg if its left, let the left player deal with it, etc. Shift as a unit.

Must move across as a team - all players need to stay focussed and ready if play is quickly shifted across to other side.

If the opposition get behind, players behing will delay while you recover to try and win back possession

New formation - role of CMs

Key Coaching Points

CMs - Constantly occupy the channels so there is no clear space for the other team to run through

Be constantly alert and anticipating the move the other team will make to try and break past our front 3 - eg try and read a pass through the gaps or a ball over the top so as can intercept.

Maintain shape - dont cut across each other, nearest player should be the one that goes to the ball if necessary.

Talk to the players in front of you about how/when they should move and press. You have a better view of the wider pitch than them so give help them make the right move.

If opposition get past front 3, delay so they can recover to win back posession

Key Coaching Points

Back 3 - do the same job as the CMs. Keep shape and make sure the channels are blocked.

Constantly focussed and trying t read the next move of the opposition and be ready to cut out a long pass or a long ball.

If opposition break past CMs then delay for recovery player.
