Suppose there is a 3v3 break on, a forward in the middle with the ball flanked by two wingers, up against three defenders in a compact shape. Middle defender should apply pressure on ball and not get beat, but what should wide defenders do? Do they track and follow the runs of wingers or offer support/cover to middle defender? It’s a tough spot for any defense to look good in but want to offer correct coaching points.
