DESCRIPTION

One striker with a supporting 4 midfield and one CB

Play begins from GK with long ball to opposing CB.

Begin free play from there then step in to add coaching points.

COACHING POINTS

CDM to should initiate pressing movement and dictate direction of play to wings.

When play down wings full back should press and defence should shift over to narrow space.

CB's must command as well as GK

CDM remains in position awating play back into central area.

Defence should be narrow to avoid any penetrations

If necesarry when CB gets pulled out of position to press striker, defence can narrow or pull CDM to cover.

 

Attackers ahould adopt a similar shape and should look to shift in relation to play
