Give your team's defensive formation more cohesion!

Defensive organization in a soccer team is one of the main aspects to take into account when a coach wants to form a successful team.

Closing the spaces between defenses, knowing how to maintain a high defensive line without giving the opponent space to escape or covering man-to-man are very important during a game.

The success of a team’s defensive formation can often mean the success of an entire team since having a stable defense makes it easier for a team to start its attacking process.

To help you develop or create alternatives for your team’s defensive process, we created a new video with defending exercises.
