HowTo: Play #2 or #5

When We Have the Ball:

Be available for passing in the Outside areas > limited zone
(no loss of the ball! No big risks)

2 and 5 advance, 3 & 4 drop back
- in open space
- with player in front of him

Make clear choices related to passing to:
- the strikers > Find the (1) #9, (2) #10, (3) #7 or #11
- the midfielders > Combine
- the defenders or goalkeeper > Switch the ball

Speed and insight are needed to support the attack in wide areas
- with build up when #5 supports attack, #2 drops back a bit to balance the defense & vice versa



When They Have the Ball:

- be able to defend zone and position
- be strong in 1:1 duel

- Be willing to attack on the ball and intercept passes
- keep player in front
- come in front of the player to defend
- good defensive header
- awareness to balance and pinch in when on opposite flank
- be explosive! fast
- communicate with other defenders and mids to organize defense
