A BASIC INTRODUCTION
The closer an attacking team gets to the opposition goal
the more pressure the defenders will exert on the man in possession
in order to prevent him from playing the ball forward. This
means that the player on the ball needs support from his team
- mates. It is important that the supporting players take
up their positions early so that the tightly marked man in
possession has the option of passing the ball with his first
touch.
