Ball begins with LB, transferred to RB
Attack aim to get ball under control over the half way line (in goal)
Defence aim to win ball and counter-attack to goal.
If breaks down, whistle, ball dropped and played counter to goal.
LHS
Run of RF to cut off ball back to LB.
Space between LF, IL, TD – nothing through them. Communication from IL. TD must not let ball back inside to CH
Allow pass to RH but LF close enough to be in position to pressure – LF runs diagonally back to block line pass, then presses (Right Shoulder to Right Shoulder): Chop and Block/ Channel onto open stick (towards middle of pitch.
Overall – when ball is progressed forward from back line – aggressive and proactive: do not allow players time and space to play.
When ball is won; look to transfer quickly out of channel and counter-attack through space (height and width)
