A soccer coach explains how goalkeepers can improve possession by asking center backs to pass back to them first. This forces the press to target the goalkeeper instead, letting center backs receive the ball unmarked and tripling possession compared to the standard pattern.
Goalkeepers, tell your center backs to pass it to you and you build out of the back. Then as a result, the press will go to you first because that's how the press will usually come. And the center backs, you will get the ball on the second one. Does that make sense? And you guys will keep the ball 3 times more than you normally do. Versus if the goalkeeper passes it to the center back, they will high press the center back and you'll have to go big. Does that make sense? So center back, center back. Now be respectable, meaning if they do that for you, give it back to the center back at some point. Otherwise you won't share, and it is a camp. But that will go a long way. You guys will play out of the back 10 times better if the goalkeeper is the one that can play live. So the center— and very quickly, that's the other big, big, big, big, big thing. Make a new video. Comment the word quiz so we can ask you a series of questions to find a little bit more about your situation to see which camp you should be going to. That camp you just saw is one of the best ones there is. They're gonna have it again in April, and you should go.
