W1 and W2 must be forced to go far from the goal area. Try to put them into a position which is unfavourable to score a goal.

blocking ball and attacker's ways

Defensive stance:

As players run forward to defend they should think about their stance and approach:

They should take small, fast steps (never jump) to avoid over-committing. Approach diagonally, facing towards the ball, and angling their body to direct their opponent away from the goal area.

Keep their arms open, wide and high. Stand on the balls of their feet with knees slightly bent.
