Blue wash: Attacking half · Gold box: Connections between the pressing lines · Gold rings: key roles
Blue plays toward the top goal. The shaded area identifies the phase; supporting roles may sit outside it. All 22 players retain their 4-3-3 positions.
Starting picture · Blue: Northbridge · Sand: opposition · Gold rings: focus players · White dot: ball
A starting picture for the practice, with the focus players highlighted. Both teams keep their 4-3-3 roles; movement and decisions develop through live play.
Organization
11v11 on a full pitch with two regulation goals, normal offside and both teams in a 4-3-3. Start with the opposition left centre-back in possession and our #7 positioned to press their left-back.
Practice task
When the pass goes wide, #7 closes, #8 provides inside cover and #6 protects the next line. The opponent may return, combine inside or dribble past the first defender.
What to observe
#8 can affect a pass or dribble beyond #7, while #6 can protect the central receiver without leaving an open gap.
Progression
Vary the speed and angle of the pass to the fullback so supporting distances must change.
