    Conflicting Directions

    Tactical Suggestions

    Consider Lowering Defensive Line

    To prevent exploitation of space behind the defense, particularly by fast forwards.

    Adjust Pressing Intensity

    Modify pressing to avoid fatigue and maintain energy levels throughout the match.

    Explore Width from the Full-Backs

    Encourage overlapping runs from the wing-backs to create additional width.
