Set-up:
4 players in the wall (5th player if needed- call back striker to man mark)
4 players man marking to ensure if ball is crossed rather than shot attackers ar covered and to collect any 2nd balls
1 player (if available) will be at top of the D zonal marking (screen passes into attackers near far post/prepare for if ball is passed sideways to get pressure on quickly)
1 player maintaining depth on pitch by staying around half way line (if not needed to defend free kick)
