Big Play Breakdown presented by Toyota: Pressing traps and pulled apart vs Vancouver

BPB_427

In the first clip in this week's Big Play Breakdown, presented by Toyota, we revisit Jamiro Monteiro's pressing angles. He helps create a trap that leads to Kacper Przybylko's game-tying goal, and you'll want to watch the replays just to see how incredible Monteiro's assist is. 


Next, we take a look at a point of emphasis for the Union this season -- retaining a compact shape both vertically and horizontally. Vancouver loves to create space on the left for Ali Adnan to advance from left back and they do it in this clip by pulling the Union side to side before sucking two players forward and attacking the left flank.
