When teams attack in numbers and lose possession, they can sometimes get caught on the counter, this drill will work on players ability to stop the opposition from playing forward and creating overloads.
Coaching Objectives
1. Understanding importance of stopping the counter attack
2. Recognising if immediate pressure can be applied (bad first touch, bad pass) then stop the counter attack early. If not, recover back quickly to get players behind the ball, defending the central areas and force wide
3. Where to recover - numbers behind the ball asap, compactness, and squeezing the ball into "pockets" in order to win the ball back quickly
