“I told De Zerbi to keep turning the world upside down. I will watch it from a distance. I respect so much what he is doing.”Jurgen Klopp on Roberto De Zerbi
Three moments, coached in full, so your team can play out under real pressure instead of hoofing it clear.
Control on the sole of the foot with an open body shape that invites the opponent in, so the space opens up behind them instead of in front of you.
The double pivot makes short, sharp movements to link the pass and free the exact player the press just left. This is third-man football, and it is the heart of the collection.
Forwards drop into the vacated space, turn and drive at the back line the moment the press commits, and your build-up becomes an attack.
The collection walks the same build-up through every phase, so it is ready to run at whatever level you coach.

The honest answers to what coaches ask us most.
Claim the build-up bundle and it is yours, no payment needed, so you can try the work before you decide.
Everything on Tactx is £9.99 a month with a 7-day free trial, less than a set of training cones. Prefer to own just this collection? You can buy it once for £4.99.
Free content gives you ideas. A subscription gives you a system. The clips out there are scattered and rarely come with coaching points or progressions. Here you get structured, ready-to-run practices in one place, so you stop hunting and start coaching.
The collection runs from grassroots to the professional game. The practices are simple to deliver while still carrying the detail you need to pull real coaching points for your own sessions.
Provoke the press, play into it, play through it. Grab the bundle today and run a De Zerbi practice at your next training.
The bundle is free. Full access from £9.99 a month, cancel anytime. Or own this collection for £4.99.
