Was ist Boxbesetzung im Fußball?

Box presence describes the number and strategic distribution of your attacking players in the opponent's penalty area during an attack, especially during crosses, flanks, or shots on goal.

Why is Box Presence important?

Effective box presence is crucial for scoring goals, as it increases the likelihood of winning second balls, capitalizing on rebounds, or taking direct shots on goal. It forces the opposing defense to be highly concentrated and creates numerical advantages that can be used for finishing. Good box presence creates goal-scoring opportunities and keeps the pressure high on the opponent.
