Executive summary

Sample, illustrative

Key findings

  1. Build-up through the left side broke down when the pivot was marked, leaving the centre-backs with one passing option.
  2. After losing the ball, the nearest three players pressed together in the first seconds; the second line was slow to follow.
  3. Wide overloads on the right created crossing chances, but few runners attacked the far post.

Strengths

  • Compact shape when defending in the middle third.
  • Quick, accurate switches of play to the weak side.

Priorities

  • Give the pivot a second passing angle in build-up.
  • Connect the first and second line when pressing after a turnover.

Evidence-linked clips

Sample, illustrative

A real brief carries 6 to 8 clips, each with a timecode and an annotation you can open in the private link.

  • 06:42Build-upPivot is screened; centre-back plays back to the goalkeeper.
  • 14:05PressFirst press is won, second line stays high and loses the shape.
  • 22:31TransitionCounter-attack starts well, support arrives late.
  • 31:18ShapeMidfield spacing opens a gap between lines.
  • 47:50Build-upFull-back drops to create the extra passing angle.
  • 63:24PressTrigger on the backward pass works as a team.

Next training session

Sample, illustrative
Exercise
6v6+2 possession game in a channel, one neutral pivot.
Objectives
Find the pivot's second angle; keep the first and second line connected after a turnover.
Constraints
Two-touch for the pivot; a goal scored within six seconds of winning the ball counts double.
Coaching cues
Show for the ball. Press together. Close the gap between lines.
Success indicators
More completed passes through the pivot; the group presses as one unit after a turnover.

Next-match review checklist

Sample, illustrative
  • Does the pivot have two passing options in build-up?
  • Do the first and second lines press together after a turnover?
  • Who attacks the far post on crosses?

Evidence, limitations and sign-off

Sample, illustrative
  • Observed in the footage: the clips above. Interpretation: the findings and priorities, stated as judgments.
  • Limitations: findings are only included where the footage supports them. Advanced metrics need reliable event or tracking data and are not shown in this sample.
  • Reviewer sign-off: every real brief is checked against the footage by a reviewer before delivery.
