Teloframe OfficialReviewed by Teloframe

Playing Out from the Back

Beat a press by playing through it, not around it. Get the shape right first, centre-backs split, pivot dropping to form a diamond with the keeper, then draw the press and play the pass that removes the presser from the game.

Setup & instructions

The keeper starts with the ball, centre-backs split wide, and a holding midfielder drops to form a diamond. Play out to a centre-back to draw the presser, then bounce into the pivot in the vacated space to turn and play forward. Get the shape right before the first pass. Add pressers to make the press real, and rotate.

Setup time: 2 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Get the shape right before the first pass: split the centre-backs, drop the pivot
  • Use the ball as bait: draw the press onto you, do not rush it
  • Play the pass that removes the presser, into the space they leave
  • Pivot receives on the half-turn to play forward in one movement
  • The keeper is the spare player: use them to switch and reset the press
  • Stay calm and keep your head up under pressure

Common mistakes

  • Poor shape before the ball moves, so there is no easy second pass
  • Rushing the play instead of drawing the press first
  • Pivot receiving with a closed body and unable to turn
  • Forcing a pass into the press instead of around or through it

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Add a second and third presser for a realistic high press
  • Add a target up the pitch to reach once the press is beaten
  • Condition the pressers to a trigger so the timing is game-realistic

Regressions

  • Passive pressers to groove the shape and the pattern
  • Add a spare player to overload the build-up
  • Walk the shape and the first two passes before adding a press
