Instructions

• The start position where the centre back is playing. The centre back passes back to the goal keeper to start the function. The goalkeeper then clears with his feet, unopposed up the field to the attacking teams midfield. The attacking team receiving the clearance attempts to score and the defending team works to gain the ball back and play the ball through one of the 2 gate goals. If needed, let the strikers first touch be unopposed then play live.
• D2 passes the ball back to the goal keeper.
• GK clears the ball up field at the other team’s midfield.
• A1 or A2 control the ball and start an attack combining with their forwards.
• D5 decides whether to pressure high or low depending on his distance from the attacking player with the ball. In the diagram D5 decides to pressure and show A2 inside.
• D4 pressures also and supports D5.
