Set up

Can use a fixed start point as shown or more free play (or a mixture of both).

When out of possession in the middle third, the team aims to fill the red box shown with all 10 outfield players.

They look to protect central areas and prevent forward passes - forcing the play wide to the full back.

Ball with full back

If the ball goes to the full back then they are pressed by the winger on that side and shown inside.

The 9 moves across and drops slightly to block the pass into midfield.

The whole team shift across the pitch (move as the ball moves) to remain compact - blocking passes and ready to press.

Ball into central midfield

Nearest midfielder presses the ball and the 9 presses from the other side (if ball is with the opposition 6).

Other two midfielders move to cut off forward passing options and the wingers drop/narrow slightly to block passes into the opposition wingers.

Full back presses the winger.

The rest of the back 4 slide across and the midfield also slide and drop.

Back 4

The back 4 need to be ready to drop if a longer ball over the top is played (open body shape, weight on back foot, arm length head start) and the GK needs a high starting position ready to sweep up.
