Welcome to Elite Soccer’s Ultimate Coaching Sessions, a new way of accessing Decisive
training sessions from the world’s best professional soccer coaches. defending
We have identified 25 of our favourite sessions from the Elite Soccer archive and
compiled them into five manuals, each looking at a different key area of play:
Attacking, Defending, Midfield, Goalkeeping and Fitness.
In this issue, Ultimate Defending Sessions, each of the training plans is written

be working for him as his Manchester City side conceded fewer goals than any other
team in their 2011-2012 Premier League winning season.
Brian McDermott’s Reading side put together a great run to clinch the 2011-2012
Championship title. Here, his high-energy shot-blocking drill shows the kind of
attention to detail that contributed to that success. 7
Nigel Adkins identifies that one of the keys to a solid defence is the ability to deal with Nigel
crosses effectively and efficiently. Here he gives us a training session that contributed Adkins
to his promotion winning Saints side achieving a club record run of clean sheets. Southampton

Steve Bruce was one of Manchester United’s most celebrated centre halves and Defending
knows his craft inside out. In this session he shows us how defenders need to prepare crosses
for occasions when they find themselves detached from their defensive partners.
And Dave Jones presents a session that drills and organises the back four as a solid, 9

defending
Overview:
Being decisive at the
back is vital, because
the stronger the
defensive principles
the more defenders
can make opposition
attacking play seem
predictable.
We use this session
to focus on showing
the opposition
outside from the
front, incorporating
solid formation
play and effective
covering of team
mates. The emphasis
is always on getting
the ball to the relative
safety of the wing.
This practice also
relies on midfielders
and forwards being
aware of their role
in the defending
process. It’s a
complete team
mentality that we’ve
seen played out
to great effect this
season in dominant
victories over the
likes of Blackburn
Rovers, Aston Villa
and Manchester
United.

Manchester City
Roberto Mancini will
celebrate two years
at Manchester City in
December 2011. The
Italian had previously
enjoyed four successful
years as manager of
Inter Milan, having also
taken charge Fiorentina
and Lazio.
His move to Manchester
came at a time of huge
investment and
expectation at
Eastlands, and Mancini
has gradually assem-
bled a number of
top-name individuals
into a fluid unit, who this
15
season look the most
likely challengers for
the Barclays Premier
League crown currently
held by their city
neighbours, United.
As a player, Mancini
was a skilful forward
who spent 15 years
at Sampdoria, during
which time he made
over 400 appearances
for il Doria. He also
played for Bologna,
Lazio and Leicester
City – the latter offering
him a brief but definite
taste for the English
game, which influenced
strongly his decision to
join Manchester City.

blocking
Overview
This session puts
the defenders under
high-intensity
pressure. It works to
get players reacting to
game-like situations
in the box such as shot
blocking.
We use this session
as over 90% of goals
are scored within
the box. It is a great
practice which
works the defenders
individually but also as
a unit, and promotes a
conscious effort to get
tight to players in the
box restricting their
chances at goal.
We do this session
once every 2-3
weeks depending
on our schedule.
We focussed on this
practice in the build-
up to our FA cup tie
against Liverpool last
season as we were
aware that players of
that quality only need
half a yard to score.
We went on to win that
game 2-1 at Anfield.

Defending
as a back
four unit
Overview:
This is a session that
teaches players how
to defend as a back
four unit. The key
part of this deals with
the core principle
of when to show an
opponent inside, and
when to show him
outside.
This coaching
practice helps us
to get the back
four working
as a unit, whilst
developing a clear
understanding of
defensive roles. That
solidity is difficult for
opposition teams to
penetrate, meaning
attackers can only
create chances by
doing something
really special.
This principle worked
perfectly in a 2-0
win at League One
promotion rivals
Huddersfield Town
in April. Our full-
backs dealt with the
hosts’ wide threat
comfortably and we
countered well to
earn all three points
with two well taken
goals.
