Wingers : Out of possession
When you loose the ball :
If you lose the ball : Can you press immediately to win the ball back, or at least put the opposition under pressure. This may slow their play down, whilst the team gets into a more defensive shape. (Sets a block).
If you cant press immediately, then immediately drop and block ( and be mindful of the type of block that needs to be set, and what your role in it is.
If the opposition are in possession and are threatening your full back :
You must go back and help. You must be the one who presses hard and tackles, leaving the FB to be smarter defensively. Not commit - not get beat.
If the opposition are in possession and are threatening the opposite full back / side of the pitch
You must tuck and become a wide midfielder.. Your job is make an aggressive switch harder, be closer the edge of the box,if you need to help protect that area, be in a position to intercept square balls and start a counter attack.
Your role in a block and trap
At all times be mindful of what type of block is being set, and what your role is in this block.
At all times be mindful of what type of trap is being set, and what your role is in this trap.
