The defending team opens up and the forward line attempts to prevent the pass forward from being made .
Just as a team must move up and down with the play they also need to move to contain and defend side to side but carefully .
Patience by the forwards must be practiced until a pressing trigger has been made
So the idea is to be patient and wait for the idea time but we can help that along by also creeping closer , we creep as to not rush the press .
This is initiated by the forward or No9 .
The idea of this is to move with the ball and limit the passing options . If the left CB has the ball then the No9 must approach and prevnt the forward pass so that the CB has to pass along their defence once more . the winger will also come inside to looikng to intercept of atleast give the impression .
If the CB manages to get the pass to the left back then the winger must get into the space in front of the left back in order to force a pass back .
If the pass to the left back or the CB is poor then it is a trigger or any of the press triggers are made then an attempt to win the ball there must be .
If the ball is passed to the other side the winger that is now inside from the left made get back to position but needs to delay slightly so the forward No9 can get across and close the options .
The No9 has a lot of ground to cover and needs to be quick and focus and all forward need to know the main priority is to cover the space in front of the defender
