The importance of rest defence and how the best teams in Europe apply it.🧠🎥
▫️Adaptation to the opponent
▫️Lines coordination
▫️Immediate pressing upon loss
▫️Depth control
FC Porto, Arsenal and Manchester City are among the best teams at preventing counter-attacks, largely due to their well-structured rest defence.👀

We need to be careful that 1v1 defending coaching doesn't start to follow the same pattern:
- "Stay on your feet!"
- "Don't dive in!"
- "Be patient!"
"spectator defenders" = Players who watch attackers rather than influence them.

▫️Positional rotations to find the free man
▫️Patience in the build-up
Roberto De Zerbi is getting closer to the perfect formula for success, both domestically and in Europe. His way of finding the free man or the free space has been key to the team’s recent success ⚽🤌🏻️

How can you utilize your transitions in a 1-5-3-2?
Once the ball has won, the job of the WBs is to exploit the spaces on the flanks.
One of CFs & a CM can offer support but the other CF has to offer behind in order to disrupt the REST DF of the opponent.

Arsenal Triangles -
A key way to progress from the wide areas is to create triangles where there is constant movement from the players.
They need to provide both depth & support to the player with the ball while keeping the shape of the triangle 📐.

Have you ever given any thought how elite teams break the structure of the opponent in such a fluid way?
As #b04 doing, they attract the pressure in order to take some players from the compacted zones and once the spaces has opened they become very aggressive with the ball.
How can your player assist a goal in a transition without even touching it?
Once the player with the ball can progress the play, it is important to create a movement behind in order to force a decision on the defending player in a high tempo situation.
