Phase 1a (10 mins)

Coaching Point

- Number 9 bends run to cut off option to play to opposite central defender

- Number 11 edges across on first pass (cutting off pass into mini goal) and when central defender opens up to play pass they press the right back, bending run to cut off option inside. (11 to offer pass then press aggressively)

- Numbers 10 and 7 move across to condense play into right side of the pitch. Ten picks up the deep midfielder and 7 moves across to cover. 9 responsible for assisting 11 with pressure and ensuring centre half doesn't get back on the ball.

Phase 2a (10 mins)

Coaching Point

- Centre forward forces central defender to play pass to full back. Wide right blocks forward pass then presses with body angled to stop ball inside. Number 10 picks up deepest midfielder enabling 6 becoming able to 'double press' fullback. Number 8 gets around second central midfielder and covers central area (screening strikers).

- Stress that 'double pressing option only valid when playing against a midfield 4 and only if 10 drops back in to pick up deepest midfielder.

After progression (extra midfielder added)

- 8 unable to 'double press' as another midfielder to be picked up. Whites to force play into fullback and wide player to press blocking any passes inside. Whites all push across into strong side of the pitch. Explain to players that fullbacks would be up tight againt wide midfielder.
