@fifatrainingcentre: Michael Beale: Receive under frontal pressure before turning away from the defender The introduction of this pressing defender progressively challenges the receiver to protect possession and turn away from defenders using different turning techniques. Organisation: 🟡 Set up two identical stations with two cones placed approximately 10 metres apart. Players start with a ball at one cone, with a single player positioned at the opposite cone. 🟡 The ball carrier passes to the player at the opposite cone and immediately follows the pass to apply semi-active defensive pressure while the receiver performs the required action. 🟡 The pressing player then becomes the receiver, with roles alternating continuously throughout the practice. Task progression: 🟡 Receive under frontal pressure before turning away from the defender.
