• The main purpose of defending is making the other team play faster
• Reducing time by a percentage point or two per player, is key in defending.
• Reading the next pass allows you to close space quicker as the ball is moving from player to player

Beating high pressure before you receive the ball

Counterattack Defending and Attacking

1. The purpose of defending against the counterattack is eliminating the attacking teams primary option
2. By adding the goalkeeper as a "defender" increases the probability of making a stop.
3. By reducing the "strong" foot of the attacking player you increase the chance of making a stop but reducing the attacking players strength. 

Restarting from the Goalie Under Pressure

1. First priority is to break the line. 
2. If you cannot break the line, the priority switches to receiving the ball under the line but without pressure
3. Movement needs to try to break the defensive line and create the secondary option of receiving with no pressure under the line.
