Check OptionsKey takeaways for this lesson:
- Around your own box you first need to defend the most dangerous option that the opponent could use to create something
- Manually select your backline defenders to cover passes and spaces
- When you see an opening where the opponent doesn't have a good option to continue his play, then try to get aggressive and win the ball back
- In 1vs1 situations inside your box, defending the space between the attacker and your goal is your priority. Stay in front of the opponent, shadow his movement, try to get closer and eventually tackle the ball out
