About this cycle

This cycle focuses on implementing a high and coordinated press to prevent the opponent's build-up play. The work focuses on the trigger phases, closing passing lanes, counter-pressing upon loss, and the ability to win the ball back near the opponent's goal. The proposed situations aim to trap the opponent and transition forward immediately after regaining possession.

Cycle objectives

  1. Trigger a high and coordinated press.
  2. Win the ball back in the opponent's half.
  3. React immediately after losing possession with counter-pressing.
  4. Quickly make a forward run after a high recovery.
