The moment possession is lost, the team that just had the ball collapses on the area within 6 seconds. Drills the Klopp/Guardiola-style counter-press — the highest-value defensive moment in the modern game.
• The instant the ball is lost, the nearest 3 players press hard
• Don\'t wait to recover shape — press first, organise after
• Aim to win the ball back within 6 seconds — if not, retreat
• Cut off the easy pass — force a long ball or a turnover
• Communication: 'pressed!' tells teammates to commit
Progression: enforce the 6-second rule strictly. Award bonus points for ball-wins in the press.
Regression: extend window to 10 seconds. Reduce number of pressers required.
