Makes sense, one thing from me though- is it better to hug in with the other mid or pick an equidistant point to the mid and link? If you are defending as mid obviously

It can be described as:
– get the ball to the mids to perform a mid-mid roll ball
– far link sweeps round and receives pass. Dishes to near link after engaging opposite defender
– near link takes second touch. Near wing is half
– mid who takes touch one takes touch three
– fastest player subs on, aiming to get yards and take fourth touch on…[Read more]

No specific equivalent, but locking in is the default behaviour we want to see from our defenders on the open side. Otherwise, you’re going to leave big gaps either between the middles or elsewhere on the open side.

Maybe ‘tuck in’ would be terminology I’ve used as a coach to describe the same thing.

Do we use lock in? What is our equivalent?
