Defensive Play

: © CoachTruly.com
Description: Players are divided into two teams and the field into three sections. In the team's defensive third, there can only be the goalkeeper and one defender from the own team. The other players move in the attacking and middle thirds.
Quality factors: Defender's reaction to passes and pass interceptions. Other players cover passing lanes and try to prevent the opponent's progression.
Key questions: How do we position ourselves so that it's difficult for the opponent to advance through the middle or flanks? How can the defender anticipate the opponent's passes and movements? How can the goalkeeper and defender work together in defensive situations?
