ST YLE OF PLAY
• BP (ball possession)
- possession based build up attempting to play forward whenever possible
- build up play out of the defensive third
- controlled possession in middle third looking to play the killer pass
- aggressive and clinical finishing in our attacking third
• BP > BPO & BPO > BP
- quick transition
- collective communication
- good order (shape)
- press after losing the ball
• BPO (ball possession opposition)
- aggressive 1 on 1, looking at both the striker and where the ball is marking a player,
- always touch the opponent
- show opposition the line, staying compact in central areas forcing opponent into wide areas
- collective press in wide areas
- good order (shape)

can work that hard off the ball”
