counterpressing

Organization: In the marked field, a 4 vs 4 plus one neutral player is played. The neutral player is positioned within a marked zone and can only join the play if a loss of the ball occurs. He adds to the team losing possession.

Coaching: Due to the favorable ratio of players subsequent a loss of the ball, an instant regain of possession should take place (counterpressing). After regaining possession, the numerical advantage provides a good situation to counterattack.

Variation: The neutral player moves freely within the field and can simultaneously be used to cover single passing options and successfully prepare counterpressing.
