Hey Christophe GSย I hear you on this one!
For a low block try to focus on these key principles in your sessions and game philosophy.
Compactness:ย Players need to reduce the space between each other both horizontally (across the pitch) and vertically between attacking, midfield and defensive units.ย
Discipline and Positioning: They need to be disciplined in maintaining their positions and roles within the structure.
Communication:ย Players should constantly communicate to adjust positions, alert each other to threats, e.g. slide right, squeeze, drop etc.ย
Patience and Decision-Making:ย Individuals cant get bored in this shape, as soon as one player switches off, or decides to press at the wrong time.
Here are a few coaching themes that might help you during the season, let me know if they come in useful. ๐
