DEFENSIVE ORGANIZATION
In the defensive organization we have basic pressing zone defense, that is, we determine a pressure zone (in this case we
chose a middle zone) and players nearest the ball delay the onset of the opponent’s attack while the others are positioned
to cause the opponent’s to play back or sideways.
Pressure is applied to the opponent in possession by our closest player (containment) and defensive cover is performed by
the players closest to the player providing the pressure , the remaining players are organized defensively (concentration)
as a block, while maintaining balance.
For this, it is essential, that the player nearest the ball press the opponent in possession quickly but in a controlled
manner (avoiding that the opponent send a long forward pass), while trying to cause the opponent to make a mistake , and
then try to steal the ball , close the spaces and the passing lanes and be aggressive at the moment of pressure. When it
comes to aggression we refer to shrinking the space and the time the opponent has to be unable to think.

TRANSITION TO ATTACK
During transition to attack (after winning the ball), we immediately remove the ball from the pressure zone,
securing the ball with the first pass.
We try to get the ball out of the pressure zone for a quick attack, where we try to advance as quickly as possible to
the opponent’s goal through a series of short passes or progressions. If this is not possible because our team is
unbalanced, we prefer to remove the ball from pressure by securing it, prioritizing possession by moving the ball to a
less populated area to allow our team to find balance and thus continue the attack in the most appropriate way.
We are looking for a quick change of attitude after winning the ball back, where our front players open the field by
giving width and depth to the team, and the players closest to the ball to create passing lanes seek to secure
possession.

ATTACKING ORGANIZATION
For attacking organization, the main objective is the ball movement and breaking the lines of the opposing team try to
create scoring situations.
We try to create passing lanes to secure possession (offensive spacing) players must create new passing lanes occupying
empty spaces to try to unbalance the opposing team (mobility), in the final third of the pitch we individually imbalance via
1 vs 1 or look for penetrating passes to goal (penetration).
We emphasize: shoot on goal whenever possible, play as simple as possible (especially in the defensive midfield) always
support the attack side, the central midfielder balance always behind the other two in order to ensure possession.
GAME MODEL
ATTACKING ORGANIZATION
When the ball is with the goalkeeper, center backs (6 and 2) and outside backs (3 and 4) open wide to provide a supporting option.
GAME MODEL
ATTACKING ORGANIZATION
When the ball rests with the goalkeeper the center backs and outside backs open wide to start playing.
GAME MODEL
ATTACKING ORGANIZATION
When the ball rests with the goalkeeper, if the opposing team presses with two forwards, we must play the ball out the sides.
The center backs are closed a little and the two sides open the field well wide (almost touching the line and placed almost in line with the center backs).
GAME MODEL
ATTACKING ORGANIZATION
When the ball rests with the goalkeeper, if the opposing team presses with THREE forwards, the outside backs must get
ahead of the defensive midfielder in order to pull the opponent’s forwards away from our center backs.
GAME MODEL
ATTACKING ORGANIZATION
When the ball rests with the goalkeeper, if the opposing team presses high up the field taking away our options
to play out through the center backs or outside backs, we must play a longer pass.
Option 1
Option 2
GAME MODEL
ATTACKING ORGANIZATION
When the ball is with center back there should be support in the form of a diamond with the other center back providing support in depth and the opposite outside back
moving inside. The center forward provides another outlet option with a longer pass. The player with the ball should always have at least 3 passing lanes
GAME MODEL
ATTACKING ORGANIZATION
When the ball is with one of the center backs, if he releases by dribbling forward the defensive midfielder takes his place.
GAME MODEL
ATTACKING ORGANIZATION
When the ball is with one of the outside backs, avoid playing with the furthest center back. Here the ball should be played back to the nearest center back. Those in charge of forming
the diamond are the left forward and the inside midfielder on that side of the field plus the defensive midfielder. The center forward gives the option for a longer pass.

ATTACKING ORGANIZATION
When the ball is wide with an outside, the player in possession must always have at least three passing lanes.
GAME MODEL
ATTACKING ORGANIZATION
When the defensive CENTER MIDDLEFIELDER has the ball, the two attacking midfielders and the center forward must form the diamond of support.
The center backs pinch in to provide coverage in depth while the outside backs are always opening the field.
GAME MODEL
DEFENSIVE TRANSITION
In these transitions we look for immediate pressure on the player in possession, for this, it is important
for a quick change/transition of attitude upon the loss of the ball, this is key to preventing the opponent’s
counterattack and to allow rapid organization of our team defense.
We attempt to carry out a smart and organized pressing, where the player closest to the opponent who has
the ball places the pressure and his closest teammates perform defensive coverage and reduce spaces (we
always act as a block, forming a compact group to defend).
We ask players to be concentrated in defensive marking, we band together and force the opponent’s
mistake in order to recover the ball, the most important thing is that we are intelligent and disciplined at
the time of the transition.

DEFENSIVE TRANSITION
When we lose possession, the closest player to the ball is responsible for delaying the opponent's attack allowing the withdrawal of our teammates.
