Defending, Passing, Possession, First touch
The outside players keep possession with one-touch or two touches, with 2 defenders in the middle trying to win the ball or intercept a pass. When a defender gets the ball or forces it outside the area, the player who made the last pass changes into the middle.
The defenders work as a pair: one presses the player on the ball, the other covers the passing lane. Pressing is directed cutting off of passing lanes.
