The defender passes the ball to the attacker from the end of the channel and immediately sets off to close down the space. The attacker’s objective is to dribble the ball to the other end of the channel. The defender delays, shows the attacker to the side and tries to win the ball.
Closing down space quickly but under control. Side-on body position, low centre of gravity, the attacker is guided towards the side of the channel.
