In this Coaching Clinic, UEFA-licensed coach David Webb presents the key principles he likes his teams to adhere to when counter-attacking.

Webb worked as an assistant coach with the Georgia national team during their historic run to the knockout stages of Euro 2024. He calls upon that team’s 2-0 group-stage win over Portugal to introduce the player profiles and key tactical principles involved when setting up to counter-attack from a 3-5-2 formation.

He proceeds to discuss the transition from a 3-5-2 into a 4-3-3 shape, and how he would then look to set up to press (or not) and ultimately counter against different profiles of opposition.

It’s a clearly explained and illuminating clinic that will offer coaches at all levels plenty of useful information. We hope you enjoy it!
