Dear Coach,

When the opposition decides to ‘park the team bus’ in front of goal, and defend deep in their own half, it can seem as though there’s no way through. With no space to move into, you can find yourself taking endless potshots from distance, with little chance of scoring. But compact defenses don’t deter elite sides or stop them from creating chances. If anything, a packed defense can become an advantage when you know how to exploit it.

Now you can discover how the elite sides break down compact defenses in this highly focused video series. Attacking a Compact Defense features 12 videos and an eBook which provide a tactical analysis using real game footage of how elite sides and players break through stubborn defenses and score goals in abundance. This includes a look at the dribbling style of Ribery and Robben, how Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund harness the width to create chances and how Inter Milan patiently wait for an opening.

So if your team is struggling to breakthrough stubborn backlines, discover how the elite sides smash through and win more games.

“If you need creative ideas on scoring past a seemingly impenetrable defense, who better to learn from than the elite sides”

There are many times when you’ll come up against a stubborn back line. Whether it’s defending a lead, to run down the clock or to soak up pressure before counter attacking, there are many situations when opposition teams will pack the area to stifle attacks. In these instances, the normal tactic is to keep shooting from distance. But this approach relies on luck and the keeper making a catastrophic mistake. This is why it isn’t an approach you’ll see being used by elite teams. Instead they’ll use creativity and tactical moves to pull defenders out of position and to create space so they can create opportunities to score inside the box.

Now you can watch how elite sides smash through seemingly solid defenses like a knife through butter in this special video series. Comprising of twelve videos, Attacking a Compact Defense profiles a range of elite level tactics for getting the ball through, over and around the defensive wall and through on goal. This includes the use of tactical dribbling, inswinging balls from the wings and knockdowns inside the box. With expert commentary throughout, this video series analyses these tactics and many others you can use to break through packed, stubborn defenses and push the scoreline in your favor.
