Pressing from the Front

Force an error high up and finish. Press immediately and intensely, angle the run to cut off one option and show the ball where you want it, then win it and attack the goal.

Setup & instructions

A centre-back plays out with a wide option and a keeper. A forward presses immediately, approaching on a curved run to cut off the wide pass and show the centre-back inside or backward. Force the rushed ball, intercept, and finish. Do not press straight at the ball, angle it to block a lane. Rotate and add cover pressers to build a front-three press.

Setup time: 2 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Press immediately and intensely: the closest player goes
  • Approach on a curved run, not a straight line, to cut off a lane
  • Angle the body to show the ball where you want it to go
  • Force the rushed pass and be angled to intercept it
  • Win it high and attack at once, the goal is close
  • Trigger the press on a bad touch or a pass to a pressable player

Common mistakes

  • Pressing straight at the ball, leaving the pass on
  • A flat body angle that shows the centre-back the easy option
  • Pressing without a trigger, so the press is easy to play around
  • Winning it and slowing down instead of attacking the goal

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Add a second and third presser to cut the other options as a front three
  • Live centre-backs and keeper trying to play through the press
  • Set the trigger so the timing of the press is game-realistic

Regressions

  • Centre-back plays passive to groove the angle of the press
  • Remove the wide option so the forward learns the basic angle
  • Walk the curved run and the cover before adding pace
