    Hi I had a question! I noticed that you are using a 4-3-1.

    If the opponent successfully builds out with the wingback and our fullback gets beat. And let's say the centerback has to cover the opponents wingback, once the fullback recovers should he temporarily switch zones with that center back who's covering the winger?

    I'm an u12 coach, I like to play in a 323, but with the full-backs inverted, wingers staying reaaaally wide, one midfielder acting like a no.10 and striker being a false 9. This way we actually counter counter-attacks, because as soon as we lose a ball for example in the middle there's immediately 3 players who can jump and press, if we lose it out wide our full-backs still have loads of space to recover, PLUS our no.10 and false 9 switching between coming deep and running in behind continously cause problems for defensive sides. Also, this way we can press the 431 system with the no.10 triggering the press and the wingers coming deeper to cover opponents full-backs.
    Playing without a distinct striker or good old-fashioned full-backs is really adventurous at this level and it takes a lot of work, but the end result is as sweet and playful as Mozart's little piano sonata.

    Wow, wow, wow. This was such an in depth breakdown. I really enjoyed the two different examples and the use of the tactical board followed by the concluding graphic of a flow chart type line of thinking. This was so well explained anyone could understand the concept and the different details that go into beating a press! Well done Coach Rory!

    Great examples, great passing by CAM, wow, that guy is a stud!

    We did really well yesterday against unorganzed press, but still not finding the 6 enough for Pattern #1 in 7v7 – tunnel vision happening on the sides of field – this time, the 6 was open and they were not seeing it. If they could, we'd have had the experience of getting it to the 9 like your video showed, for sure! Acres of space! Will continue to work on getting the ball to the 6.
