Pressing then possession play in 3 zones by D. Simeone
This exercise on 3 zones by Diego Simeone, used at Atlético Madrid during the 2013/2014 season, is ideal for working on the defensive-to-attacking transition in the defensive third, with a situation of numerical disadvantage.
- When the blue team is in possession of the ball and plays to one of its 2 defenders in the wide zone, the 2 opposing attackers can press as long as they do not enter the zone. They must block the passing angles.
- When the red team is in possession of the ball, the 2 blue defenders can enter the zone of the 2 attackers to press, without any particular condition.
