Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 7Played superior opposition many times and I have some general advice that you can use to associate keywords and language with concepts. You can use these in your remaining training sessions and friendly, and they may help your players stay focused during a tough 90 mins:DELAY – You don’t have to win everything, but you do have to hold up opposition attacks and support will arriveSHAPE – Stay intact, stay together, work hard for each otherDEFEND - The first phase or you’ll be chasing the ball and… See more2Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 7 (edited)@Trevor Charlie Hi Trevor:Some rules and sessions:Group CompactnessNo more than 12m between any 2 players, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lineSome sessions to get Groups to work together to achieve that compactness.Sessions that contain lots of 3v2 and 2v1 situations, emphasising:
- Cover and support
- Communication and compactness
- Practice defensive triangulation
