OFFENSE

The opponent builds up the attack through the middle and pushes into the circle with several players.


→ Response:

  • High-Pressing Defense

  • Block off access routes to the city center

  • Keep the defensive line tight and compact

The development of Kiel as an example.


Important for us: This shifts our entire defensive formation .

The ball is carried into the circle in a controlled manner; there are several passing options available.


→ Response:

  • Clear Roles on Defense

  • Ball-Goal Line as a Guide

  • Intercept the ball

Kiel is playing zone defense here, but it's very reactive and leaves large gaps.


→ Response:

  • A brief warm-up and preliminary orientation

  • Quick passes across the open field (see picture)

  • Patience: These gaps may first need to be opened up by passing and “anteasing” the AV.
