The Four Game Phases
The analysis is based on the four main game phases: attack, outlet, defence and press.
Attack
The attack phase takes place between the opponent's backline and the opponent's 23-metre line. In this phase the focus is on creating chances and finishing effectively towards goal.
Outlet
The outlet phase describes building up from the back: from your own backline to the opponent's 23-metre line. It is all about controlled passing, smart positioning and switching play to set up the attack.
Defence
The defence phase takes place between your own backline and your own 23-metre line. Here the team tries to stop the opponent and prevent goals.
Press
The press phase covers the defensive actions that disrupt the opponent's build-up: from their backline to your own 23-metre line. The aim is to put pressure on early, force the opponent to lose the ball and win it back quickly.
