Tip
Coaching Points
- When the ball is in the opponent's half/near the opponent's full-back: the ball-near center-back covers overlapping.
- Move compactly towards the ball.
- A center-back can push up to double up as long as it doesn't create a numerical disadvantage in the center.
- Double up in a slight staggered formation.
- When doubling up, don't stray too far from the full-back; otherwise, the 2 vs 1 becomes a 1 vs 1.
