Coaching Points - Player C:

-Get there quickly/early to prevent opposition player turning to face you

-Slow down upon approach so opponent doesn't take a quick touch past you

-Get touch-tight...opponent needs to feel under pressure...not allowed to turn and face you

-When to tackle...can you delay until the time is right to pinch the ball

-Be aggressive...use body strength to force opponent backwards...do not allow them to do whatever they want with the ball...especially turn and face you

If opponent manages to turn and face you:

-sideways + low

-force in one direction with body position

-jockey and delay until time is right to pinch the ball

Midfielders (15 mins)

Coaching Points:

Midfielders:

-As the Ball is being Played to the Opposition CB, the Two Midfielders can Shuffle over and block spaces. We are preventing the ball being played through us straight to the Strikers. If the opposition midfielders also shuffle over to try to receive the ball, then they can go Touch-Tight to them - This may prevent them being able to receive the ball, or if they do then we can possibly make a tackle and win the ball back or force them to play backwards and not forwards
