Emphasis on keeping possession of the ball in all sectors of the pitch with the aim to go forward when the opportunities arise, with a controlled tempo from back to front; with the aim to dominate possession of the ball so we can dictate the flow of the game.

Playing out from the back – With four defenders and three central midfielders, there are seven players able to receive the ball from deep and look to build possession. Switching Play – With wide forward players staying disciplined it is possible to look for quick switches once the opposition has compacted to your side of the field

Clinical in final third – The team that wins is usually the team that makes the most of its chances. We must be clinical in the final third and look for good high percentage shots and positive forward passes.

Pressing together as a team – With three forward players it is possible to press from the front as long as the team behind is staying with the forwards. Pressing alone causes gaps but pressing as a team causes pressure on the opposition’s defence.
