hi, i'm trying to determine exactly what positioning does as opposed to good marking.
i reckon there are two possibilities here:
1. the general position a player gets in when not in possession of the ball, how the team shape sets up.
2. when in one-on-one situations, positioning themselves so as to limit the options an attacker has, for example putting himself between the attacker and the goal to stop corssing or shooting opportunties.
i reckon it's no.2, but surely this comes under "marking"?
i'd welcome some help on this one, thanks, neil
