4:43 you indicate the 6 is free to vacate the middle of the pitch and push up. That would create a significant gap between defense and attack, the sort of space an opponents creative 10 (think players like Odegaard and KDB) would thrive in to create dangerous attacking options.
It's an awesome vídeo for an Essay. A lot of theory, but not much practical experience. One subject forgotten was the Tempo. In the "Passing Window" chapter, the 2-1-2 defensive shape would kill any team, if playing against an intelligent team, specially with players trying to steal the ball from the front. If with a fast tempo, number 2 plays with the goalkeeper to change side of play, any of my teams would with 2 passes, leave behind 6 players of the opponent team and do a 6x4+1 in a fast counter...
What if ,when the midfielder attacks ,the CB will break the line and go defend right,so does it mean the one of the fullbacks will maintain the defensive line or also try and defend the pass to reach the winger?
Could you specify a time in the video where you see that? Speaking generally, any high press will aim to force the play to an area and not let it out by pressing the ball carrier and cutting off obvious passing options. Depending on the level of play, it can be very difficult for players to see the switch options and even more difficult to execute. Another aspect of pressing high is recovering when the press is beat whether it’s a split pass into the feet of a striker or switch to a winger. That will have to be taught as well, but I think it’s outside the scope of this video.
One sidenote: zonal marking doesn't automatically imply that you move along with the ball. That's "ball oriented zonal marking". Zonal marking means that you emphasize covering the space above covering the opponent. Otherwise good video.
Interesting point. Assuming the other type of zonal marking would be man oriented zonal marking? How do you differentiate between man oriented zonal marking and man marking? In that comparison, to me it seems like man marking would be following a mark around even outside your positional area.
@@KyleDijkstra Not really, that's more or less man marking. It's zonal marking, but instead of moving along collectively with the ball, the players use the opponent closest to them as a reference point. So everybody stays more or less within their zone, but adjust their exact positioning in it in accordance to the nearest opponent, p.e. by getting closer to the center or the sides in response to their infiltration, regardless of the ball.
thanks for really nice video . l have one question , please a about cover defenders in the example you explaine in your video , there were two covers defender number10 and number 8 . why only nr 10 and nr 7 not nr 11 also?
Could you specify which moment you mean? At 3:13, for example, 7 and 10 are the cover defenders meaning that they are the first to respond if 9 gets beat 1v1. 8, 6, and 11 are the balance defenders covering passing lanes and preventing switches.
