Width is a long accepted principle in possession. How teams use and interpret width can be very different. Some teams maintain maximum width - stretching the field from touchline to touchline, others keep play narrower and relative to other references. @SundayShare10#SundayShare
The use of “positional play” games has been the most effective and efficient way to train my teams on how to manage space and the ball. They are adaptable to changing numbers and also build socio-affective relationships among the players at certain positions. #TOVO#SundayShare
