    The coaching points focus on defenders maintaining close distance from attackers, keeping eye contact with the ball, adjusting their body shape based on the attacker's first touch, closing down space quickly, communicating roles clearly, applying pressure in the attacking half, staying on their toes ready to change direction, and heading the ball upwards and with distance when defending crosses and 1v1 situations. Defenders are told to be side on and show attackers onto their weaker foot.
