Setup & instructions

Two attackers break against the one recovering defender, one overlapping. The defender recovers goalside of the ball, protects the goal, and shifts to delay both, forcing it backwards. Emphasise goalside of the ball first, patience, and not being beaten by the overlap. Rotate the roles.

Setup time: 1 min
