In this video, we'll explore the role of fullbacks in the defensive phase of play. In this phase of play, your main job is to DEFEND! Here are the 3 main components you need to focus on in the defensive phase: 1) Close the Space - Pressure the wide player and let them know you are there. If possible, pressure that first touch and make a tackle. If the player has gained full control, it's better to contain and stand them up. 2) Stay in Good Defensive shape - stay compact with your Centerback but also be aware of the opponent. 3) Force Play Backwards - If the have their back to goal, step up.
