Zonal Back 4 - SSG (25 mins)
Key Factors
Maintaining good distances between defenders as they shuffle across as the ball is transferred. Ideally no more than 10 yards. Communication to full backs to show inside/outside depending on what cover is behind them. e.g. CM covering, show him inside towards the player.
Not to over cover and be susceptible to the switch. 2nd CB not past near post. FB not past penalty spot.
Pitch divided into 6 zones, 4 as in drill, and 2 larger wider zones, try to avoid 2 defenders in one zone, always have 4 zones covered.
Organisation
Pitch shorter due to lack of numbers, taking out area that would be occupied by Red CB/ Blue ST.
balls at one end, always begin with red CM with ball.
Attacking objective - Score
Defending objective - Win ball back and carry ball through red gates on either side.
After a goal or the ball going out, defenders are allowed to regain shape before beginning again from attacking CM.
