Tip
- The defender tries to close down the attacker as early as possible so that the attacker cannot build up speed, and if possible positions his body between himself and the attacker with the shoulder forward. - If player F receives the ball, C shifts toward ball carrier F, B tucks in behind C, and A shifts behind B. - In the basic formation, the players stand in a line. The distances between players across the width are 7-12 m. When the players tuck in with depth stagger, the distances in depth are approximately 5 metres, the width remains the same. - The pressing player runs at top speed to the ball. The other two defenders constantly maintain the distances. - The starting signal for the running paths is the passer's backswing. - The team in possession tries to break through the opposing defensive line with passes to the wings, through balls, or dribbles. - 6 cones
