Pressing Using Zonal Marking in Soccer

An explanation of pressing zonally in a 2-1-2 shape as opposed to tight man marking in order to win the ball back. This concept of defending in soccer focuses more on denying certain areas of the field to your opponent and then waiting for mistakes. This is not a system used to force the opponent into making mistakes. It is especially effective at lower levels of soccer, and would not be the best idea playing against high quality opponents who can play passes into tight areas at the professional level.

It's an awesome vídeo for an Essay. A lot of theory, but not much practical experience. One subject forgotten was the Tempo. In the "Passing Window" chapter, the 2-1-2 defensive shape would kill any team, if playing against an intelligent team, specially with players trying to steal the ball from the front. If with a fast tempo, number 2 plays with the goalkeeper to change side of play, any of my teams would with 2 passes, leave behind 6 players of the opponent team and do a 6x4+1 in a fast counter...

It’s a great information but if the opposition have ball progression skills with their defence.
It can cause an overload in the middle.
