Distribution Under Pressure — GK Build-Up Rondo

GK starts with ball; 2 CBs and CDM offer angles. Two pressers close down quickly. GK must pick the right pass — short to the CB, or switch to the far side. Rotate GKs every 5 minutes. Specific emphasis on Novak's distribution and both GKs' decision-making under pressure.

• GK: scan before the ball arrives — know your pass before you have it
• CBs: offer a clear angle away from the presser; don't stand still
• CDM (Hartley): show for the ball early, hold the position, make yourself obvious

• Add a third presser to force the long switch option
• GK must play out to feet — no long balls allowed — forces sharper short passing solutions
