Miguel Brunengo: We're going to do challenging now; we're going to have a forward coming with the ball and the defender will be jockeying him. We're looking for here, the defender’s first priority is to try to hold the guy back as much as he can to get some teammates to help him. But if not, once right before the edge of the box he going to have to make the challenge there.
OK, let's go, come closer to him and just jockey him all the way to the top of the box. OK, now you're going to make a challenge now. All right, let's do it again. Let's keep going. Let's make a challenge. OK, good. Now this is the edge right here of the box; anything past this here now, if you're in here and you make a challenge, you might be called for a penalty. So, obviously, when you get to the top of the box, it's the final time when you can make this challenge before you might get called for a penalty.
