Pressuring Together - In Soccer (Football) and Futsal

In high-level modern soccer, applying pressure on the opposing team requires coordinated actions among your players.
While each coach may use a different formation, and within that formation a different plan regarding when and where to force the play, some basic concepts repeat themselves in the majority of scenarios.
What most people don’t realize is that you can use Futsal to not only teach, but to help your players master these concepts. The fast and competitive environment of organized Futsal will foster the development, giving players the right tools to develop their capacities to read the game and effectively make decisions.
In this video, we will show a progression starting with teaching and practicing the concepts on a Futsal court, followed by the transfer to a functional game on the soccer field. We will also show some examples of these concepts being applied during competitive soccer matches.
