I had the honour of writing the 24th door of the

advent calendar, and wrote about coaching dismarking.
Based on the individual and group-tactical concepts detailed in my theory article, I present various exercises and key principles.

This was a very nice goal from Sevilla. Extremely deep build-up before exploiting their presence behind the lines.

It ultimately didn't have the desired effect, but Klopp had an interesting plan to break through Chelsea's back 5.

Played this 9v4 with my U15 group on Saturday, working on build-up and pressing in our 4-2-3-1.
We had a ton of great build-up scenes from the reds, but also compact pressing and counters from the blue side.
Huge range of possible coaching points.

Mou's initial plan:
6-2-2 with tight man-marking. Typical Mourinho: little pressure on 1st ball carrier, gradually increases after passes

The three typical ways pressing teams approach the ball-carrying full-back. Which movement possibilities does that create for nearby team-mates? And what potential follow-up actions exist?

It's a really nice feeling as a coach when you look forward to your team's games because you enjoy the way they play. We had our last league game of the season on Tuesday night, and this was our opening goal.

With their connections, Sarri’s side often circulate in deep areas, gradually enticing the opponents to press, then break through quickly.

This season they move to open the furthest option and use 3rd man runs to break through. Positional switches have been effective also.

One of United's issues this season; i.e defending the half space after the ball comes from the wing. CBs refuse to move wide with FB.

I think the proactive/reactive division is misused in football in two main ways. 1: Attacking is proactive, and defending is reactive.

Pep's use of the 10s against Everton was interesting.
1. Offer a diagonal passing route
2. If this is blocked move up & occupy the def. line

Chelsea's response was typical:
Move the ball across the back 3, find a route into one of the forwards & flick layoffs to evade pressure.

The most decisive situation in the flow of the LFC-RBS game
