The introduction of this pressing defender progressively challenges the receiver to protect possession and turn away from defenders using different turning techniques. Furthermore, the final variation encourages players not only to escape pressure but also to exploit the space they have created through an attacking dribble. The coaching focus is on the attacker learning to initiate physical contact with the defender, using this contact as a reference point to identify the defender’s position and recognise which space can be exploited. At the same time, the attacker should use their arm and body position to shield and protect the ball. Organisation: 🟡 Set up two identical stations with two cones placed approximately 10 metres apart. Players start with a ball at one cone, with a single player positioned at the opposite cone. 🟡 The ball carrier passes to the player at the opposite cone and immediately follows the pass to apply semi-active defensive pressure while the receiver performs the required action. 🟡 The pressing player then becomes the receiver, with roles alternating continuously throughout the practice. Task progression: 🟡 Double turn — feint in one direction before turning and accelerating in the other.
