Pressing
Mid-Block Press
Where a team presses is a decision about risk, not about bravery. The mid-block trades territory for a shorter distance to defend.
U14+PRS
PressingThe Cover Shadow Press
One player cannot mark two opponents, but one player can take away two passes. The body does the second job while the feet do the first.
U14+PRS
PressingMan-Oriented Press (Force the Long Ball)
This press is not trying to win the ball. It is trying to make the keeper kick it, and the second ball is the actual prize.
U14+PRS
Pressing
Ball-Side Overload Press
Sliding everyone across concedes the far side on purpose. It is a bet that the ball travels slower than a whole team can shuffle.
U14+PRS
Pressing
Pressing Trigger (Spring on the Back-Pass)
Knowing when not to press is harder to coach than pressing. A trigger is permission, and without one a team just chases the ball.
U14+PRS
Pressing
Pressing the Build-Up
Pressing a side that builds with the keeper is arithmetic before it is intensity. Three forwards are outnumbered until they cut a lane.
U14+PRS
Pressing
Touchline Press Trap
The touchline never gets beaten and never gets tired. Show the ball wide, cut the inside return, and let the line do half the work.
U14+PRS
Pressing
High Press Trap
Coached from both sides at once. The pressing team springs the trap, and the build-up team learns to recognise and beat it.
