Objective of the Practice:
The Liverpool Alternating Pressing Drill is a great defensive exercise that is used to improve the defending ability in a 2v2 situation. The emphasis in the exercise is on pressing and keeping the defensive shape of pressure and cover.
Coaching Pointers:
Place a player in each corner of an area 15×10 yards. Two defenders start in the center of the area.
The practice begins with the two end players passing the ball back and forth. They hold the ball for a few seconds to enable the pressing players to gain their defensive shape. The end player passes the ball back and forth for 5-6 passes then exchange the ball to a player on the opposite side of the area.
The defending player now rest, and the passing players become the two pressing players. This sequence is repeated throughout the exercise.
