Attackers Support Each Other

When players are pressing they need to use support to be ready to pick up any loose balls when defenders make mistakes.

Combine short passes with longer passes and use the magic men in the middle to create triangles.

Make sure all players are taking part and looking for the ball and not hiding on the pitch which would be easy to do in the nature of this drill. Coach the pressers to block passing lanes making the quality of pass harder.

Player skills are important so focus on positioning, movement and decision making. Keep an eye on the way players are passing and the speed at which the ball is circulating. Attackers need to either support the passes underneath to receive a pass, or they need to support ahead of the ball to open passing lanes.
