Fast transition
Trends in international Football
On the other hand you have to react immediately on losing the ball! The
quality of a good team is shown by how quick it reacts after losing the
ball. The player next to the ball becomes a defender, he immediately puts
pressure on or delays the play so that his team can reorganise
defensively!
The players have to learn to read the game. It’s all about transitions. On
losing the ball you have to run the shortest way back into formation or
zone (also taking position of others = principle of the shortest way,
minimise time for organisation), or look for tackles to win back the ball:

• Offensive defending after losing ball (Pressing) and close the possible
vertical passing lines!
• Team organisation (block) in the next playing zone!
• “Go back“ and organise a deeper defending block!
• Deep organisation in front of the penalty area!

More sprinting means, the ball can be more often recaptured and
you will get more chances to score!
