It's time to develop our defensive shape and cover positioning in this pattern of play practice. Here's how it works: You’ll call out either "left," "right," or "centre," signalling which defender should step up to receive the ball and head it or pass it back. The other two defenders must position themselves effectively to provide cover for the pressing player, with the opposite covering player always ahead of the central defender. Work together as a unit, communicate effectively and focus on positioning to get your defensive unit primed for the game! 🤝
