About this cycle

This cycle develops the ability to press together by identifying the right moments to step out. The work focuses on the coordination of the lines, reading favorable situations (back pass, isolated ball carrier...) and the organized high press. The sessions aim to trigger collectively, recover the ball and play quickly forward to challenge the opponent.

Cycle objectives

  1. Identify the right moments to initiate the press.
  2. Press together with coordinated lines.
  3. Recover high and play quickly after recovery.
  4. Turn the press into an attacking situation.
