  • 00:00:31
    out onto the
  • 00:00:33
    [Music]
  • 00:00:38
    pitch in this very first clip we're
  • 00:00:41
    going to focus on the awareness of space
  • 00:00:45
    how much space do you have in front of
  • 00:00:47
    you do you have any space at all can you
  • 00:00:49
    progress play forward by dribbling by
  • 00:00:52
    making a pass by breaking a line any
  • 00:00:54
    main way to progress play forward this
  • 00:00:57
    could be a long ball this could be a
  • 00:00:58
    short ball to your midfielder this could
  • 00:01:00
    be a dribble into space no hesitation
  • 00:01:04
    being able to take up this space will
  • 00:01:06
    allow you to progress play
  • 00:01:12
    forward next the best thing to do as a
  • 00:01:17
    center back is to find the forward pass
  • 00:01:20
    you find this forward pass by breaking
  • 00:01:22
    the lines what do I mean by breaking a
  • 00:01:25
    line is whenever there is either a
  • 00:01:27
    midfielder and a striker or any lines
  • 00:01:30
    that look like this that is when you're
  • 00:01:33
    supposed to break those lines so you can
  • 00:01:35
    progress play forward and then find an
  • 00:01:38
    opportunity to break down the
  • 00:01:53
    opponent in this next clip we are going
  • 00:01:55
    to focus on supporting in possession
  • 00:01:59
    what does that mean when your fullback
  • 00:02:01
    has the ball when your Center mid has
  • 00:02:03
    the ball are you dropped off at an angle
  • 00:02:06
    to support them if they are in trouble
  • 00:02:09
    are you in the correct position are you
  • 00:02:12
    with the correct body shape in order to
  • 00:02:14
    open up your body and play out the other
  • 00:02:16
    way so that you can relieve pressure
  • 00:02:19
    from one side and look to go and attack
  • 00:02:22
    another route
  • 00:02:36
    involvement during the buildup so
  • 00:02:38
    whenever your goalkeeper has the ball
  • 00:02:40
    are you wide in the half spaces are you
  • 00:02:42
    making yourself available to be an
  • 00:02:44
    option this is crucial because one
  • 00:02:47
    you're opening up space for yourself to
  • 00:02:50
    become an option for your goalkeeper and
  • 00:02:52
    two you're also opening up space for
  • 00:02:54
    your Center defensive
  • 00:02:57
    mid so now we're going to look at center
  • 00:02:59
    backs out of of possession there's many
  • 00:03:01
    little different factors that come into
  • 00:03:03
    play when you are out of possession

    holding the line offering support
  • 00:03:07
    defensively covering for your teammates

  • 00:03:21
    transitions what this means is being

    able to go from offense to defense
  • 00:03:26
    defense to offense being able to get
  • 00:03:28
    into the correct position
  • 00:03:30
    offensively or being able to get in the
  • 00:03:32
    correct position defensively what this
  • 00:03:35
    helps with is being able to close down
  • 00:03:38
    space or open up space depending on the

    into that half
  • 00:03:51
    space defensive cover or providing

    balance what this basically means is

    whenever a teammate steps out of
  • 00:03:59
    position to cover the person on the ball
  • 00:04:02
    to cover any immediate danger you're
  • 00:04:04
    that player that's going to shift over
  • 00:04:07
    and provide that cover whenever either a
  • 00:04:10
    teammate gets beat or space is exposed
  • 00:04:14
    you want to be there and make sure that
  • 00:04:16

    Striker dribbles into space you're able

    vice versa when the ball goes on your

    side of the pitch whenever the ball does
  • 00:06:39
    get pushed up forward then both center
