How I Coach Midfielders to GET OUT OF TIGHT SPACES | Soccer Drills

This is Part 2 of my How I Coach Midfielders series. About two months ago, in Part 1, we focused on how midfielders can be more aware and think faster to make quick decisions. Now in Part 2, we’re building on that foundation by working on one of the most crucial attributes of a midfielder: how to get out of tight spaces.

Watch The Live Action Now!

You’ll see the key coaching points around body positioning, scanning, first touch, and decision-making under pressure. Plus, I’ll run through practical drills that simulate real-game situations so you can take these straight onto the training pitch.

And while the focus is on midfielders, these skills are valuable for every player on the field who wants to stay composed, protect the ball, and turn pressure into opportunity.
