Defending in pairs Aim - To improve communication between
defenders and to get them thinking as a unit when defending. -
1. Ensure there is good communication between the defenders. -
2. Defenders are outnumbered so they must be patient and wait
for a bad pass or a mis-control before deciding to shut the ball
down. - 3. When pressing the ball, make sure they go together,
as the offside rule is active and they stand a good chance of
catching the attackers offside.
