General Information:
Min Players: 8
Max Players: 20
Duration: 20 min
Description
In this drill our experienced coach from Lusail SC shows you how to train the most frequent situations when it comes to defending for the back four. The focus is on the positional play of the back four when an attacker has the ball. The defenders are trained to move quickly and to position themselves correctly.
The idea is to form a defensive triangle when a central opponent has the ball or a curved line when a winger has the ball.
Variation
You can include a ball in the drill and let one team of four pass to ball to each other while the back four is moving.

Great drill but they are way too tight and narrow when doing it - balance of coverage isn’t there. Could throw the proverbial blanket over the four of them.

@TheSkyline5467

I love this, such a basic idea that would help the players on my daughter's team immensely if we did these drills lol

I use this drill in preseason with high school kids pressure cover balance or I also call it 3 line defense when ball on outside amd 2 line defense when ball in middle

@JadenCorbin_07

moving together. You can really see how this could unfold in a game.

@TheJuanKerr

Once you watch the whole drill you actually see the gradual improvement, with more work on that they can perfect that and then it’s about taking it onto a game.

The coverage and balance need to be better. The last player is always out. This could keep a striker onside and lead to a penetrating pass to the striker.

Absolutely beautiful 👍🏽

@josedanielherrera7115

The two interior ones need to be pressed a bit differently. With more depth in the centerback to watch out for runs to the inside. Always test at full field.

@TheJuanKerr

Can I add in a progression for this drill that could be worth a try, if you where to add another line of mannequins/cones - my club don’t have mannequins so will need to use cones for this drill - The second line would be if a player goes past the defender to get them replicating that movement.

@davidmartin790

Brilliant

@TheJuanKerr

Anytime there’s a switch in colour the defender who pressed doesn’t retreat again he stays high. Players closest to us as example, when he shouts white then purple the player in white should drop back so the purple is marked and the rest are deeper but in line.
