‍Defensive play is more than just tackles—it's timing, vision, discipline, and composure. In this program, players are taught to master their positioning, control space, shut down attackers, and build from the back. Drills are tailored for all defensive roles, from fullbacks to center-backs, with an emphasis on communication, awareness, and recovery speed. This training helps defenders stay one step ahead and become true game-changers in any formation. --- 7-Week Defensive Specific Program Focus: Technical skills, tactical understanding, and positioning, with game review of elite defenders. --- Week 1: Fundamentals of Individual Defense** - Video: Virgil van Dijk’s 1v1 defending. - Training: - Defensive stance and footwork. - 1v1 duels and shepherding attackers. --- Week 2: Defensive Communication & Leadership - Video: Sergio Ramos organizing the backline. - Training: - Communication drills. - Maintaining shape in 2v2 and 3v3. --- Week 3: Reading the Game & Anticipation - Video: Giorgio Chiellini intercepting passes. - Training: - Interceptions and positional awareness. - Reacting to attacker movements. --- Week 4: Tackling Techniques - Video: Paolo Maldini on timing tackles. - Training: - Tackling technique (front, side, slide). - Tackling in game scenarios. --- Week 5: Aerial Dominance - Video: Nemanja Vidić’s heading skills. - Training: - Aerial challenges and defensive headers. - Transitioning after winning duels. --- Week 6: Positioning in the Final Third - Video: Kalidou Koulibaly’s defensive positioning. - Training: - Compact shape and blocking angles. - Recovery runs. --- Week 7: Playing Out of the Back - Video: Aymeric Laporte under pressure. - Training: - Passing drills and positional rotations. - Building possession from the back. --- Week 8: Defensive Transitions - Video: Raphael Varane’s quick recovery runs. - Training: - Recovery drills and shifting defensive shape. - Counter-attacking setups. --- Week 9: Defending Set Pieces - Video: Thiago Silva’s set-piece defending. - Training: - Marking strategies and clearing balls. - Organizing and anticipating second balls. --- Week 10: Game Simulation & Review - Video: Recap of elite defensive plays. - Training: - Game scenarios with feedback on shape, transitions, and leadership. --- Session Structure: - 10min video analysis + 80 min on-field training Goal: Develop composure, tactical awareness, and leadership in defense.
