Questions

2. On every negative pass, the defense steps forward (“step” or “out” call) to condense the midfield space.
3. The back four tactical cues are to automatically expand back out if there is no pressure on the ball “drop” or to “hold” if there is pressure on the ball.
4. Once pressure is broken, all defenders together yell “drop” so that movements forward and back are coordinated.
5. If the holding midfielder is beaten the back four drop together and consolidate centrally.
