Description

Integrated Session working with 1 Goalkeeper, 2 full backs and 2 CDMs. For purpose of realistic scenarios 1 fullback acted as CB before rotating.

Playing Through or Round/ Onto (Technical Practice)

Set up/Organisation/Description:

  • 1GK, 1 full back (second full back act as CB then rotate; 2 CDMs
  • 3 mini goals to represent advanced midfielders in 4-2-3-1 formation used by AFCL 1st team

Instructions/Explanations:

- GK can play to CDM to open on half turn and dribble forward or pass to opposite CDM or through opposition midfield into midfield 3

- GK can play to CDM to bounce back and then to opposite CDM or CB/ FB depending on press

- GK can play to CDM to play into full back and go round opposition

- GK can play to CB to play through attacking line into CDM

 

Coaching points/learning objectives

  • GK put ball in centre of  6 yard box to open up possibility of going both and prevent opposition pressing you straight into wide areas
  • CB drops and full back moves higher and wider to isolate winger and force them to mark 1 of 2. This leaves striker to mark 2 CBs if wingers mark full backs GK can play to opposite full back then into CDM or direct to CDM. If wingers mark CBs then full backs are free for GK to play onto winger as another option or straight into CDM as striker has to mark 2 CDMs (May be on to go long and play over if opposition commit high numbers to press)

  • GK communication dictates CDM decision i.e. man on results in bounce bacl/ turn out results in half turn to go forward
  • CDMs arcing runs to open up multiple options i.e. first time bounce to full back on front foot (Also increases awareness of what is behind and better chance of receiving unopposed due to being on opposition blindside)

  • Coach then plays to opposition winger to attack (can cut in and strike or cross for #9)
  • Defenders and CDM readjust to compact shape in defensive transition from expansive shape used to create space and play out
