Teaching Defensive Shape ft. Will John (Flat Back Four)

This video explains a great way to teach defensive shape to your team including how to teach 'pressure, cover, and balance' and keep everyone connected. Players should stick together and shift towards the ball as a unit to prevent defensive breakdowns.

Thanks. What should be the optimum distance between the defenders during the movements/shifting?

Sir....As a rightback do I need to follow my winger if he drop back in the midfield line/centre half?(sorry for my english)

Love this! Working with u9 7v7 (2-3-1) and going to modify and do this.

Hey there. Would like to use this as a main training component in a session based on defending: What would you advise as a Warm Up Drill, prior to going into this? Cheers

I downloaded the app, but I can't use it. I am a coach and it asks for a group code, which I do not have. Please advise. Thanks
