defending, 1v1
The defender passes the ball to the attacker from one end of the channel and immediately closes down the space. The attacker's goal is to dribble the ball to the other end of the channel. The defender delays, shows the attacker wide, and tries to win the ball.
Closing down space quickly but in a controlled manner. Body position sideways, centre of gravity low, the attacker is shown toward the edge of the channel.
Did you slow down in time? How close did you get before you were in control of the situation? Is your body sideways on? Where did you force the attacker — was that intentional?
