Defending in soccer and futsal: high pressure

When discussing Futsal as a tool for the development of soccer, most people think of technical skills, more touches on the ball, creativity and other topics related to attacking. But Futsal can also be an amazing tool for developing defensive techniques, concepts and the ability to make quick and effective defensive choices.
This animation is specifically about high pressure, and shows how it needs to be applied as a team in an organized way, denying the passing options close to the player with the ball, forcing to a side and/or protecting the middle areas. These concepts apply to both sports, and Futsal can create an ideal scenario for both teaching and mastering these concepts.
We will soon release an article that goes into detail about many defensive aspects, pointing out which ones Futsal can be a very effective tool for soccer development, and which ones have more limitations. Also, we will soon release videos presenting different defensive strategies, and the related defensive capacities that players will develop while practicing them.
