Defending Against a High-Pressing Team
Discipline 7: Tactical Systems — Lesson 7 of 12
Lecturer: Imogen Vance
Improvising against a high press invites panic. This session covers playing out with pre-agreed patterns, using the goalkeeper as an extra option, and going long deliberately when the patterns are cut off.
The three rules
1. Use pre-agreed patterns.
2. Use the keeper as an extra option.
3. Go long when patterns are cut off.
