Jamie Birch🔥 • Sep 6@Stephen Kavanagh yep my last two clips are during a high press which does take a lot of energy. Key being making sure there arn’t gaps vertically in between the lines.What I wanted to draw out in the video was how compact teams get within their block, players might say that it doesn’t feel right to be tucked so far across the pitch but it really is a battle of how small you can make the pitch in defence. City are making Chelsea play in a 5 a side pitch here.1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Sep 6A little spoiler from another course I am building in the background…. Tactical Coaching”A defensive system relies of levels of clear responsibilities at 4 levels……As a group, there should be no more than 12m between any 2 players horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.Think in terms of compactness first, then individual defending. Your team’s defensive shape determines how effective individual actions become.”This video sums the previous statements up1Reply

Ross Whitehead🔥 • Sep 6I’d love our kids to play as compact as that. I’d also love them to press as aggressively as City are towards the end of the video. But they’re only 2015s, so I’ll give them a break! 😄2Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Sep 6@Ross Whitehead 😂. I think start with the discipline to defend compactly, that only takes player buy in and understanding the why. Pressing and when to press can evolve once you’ve nailed the core defensive principles of making play predictable and making the pitch feel small for the opponent 👍🏻2Reply

Ross Whitehead🔥 • Sep 6@Jamie Birch We have been working with them to explain that the whole team has to work back to get the ball. The attackers don’t get a free pass, they have to join in too, and today was definitely better, not there 100% yet, but there was an improvement in the work rate.1Reply
