Drill

Organisation

Half pitch drill

Reds (coached) defending vs longball in a 4-2

Blues (managed) attacking in 3-2

Server feeds ball in directly and play is live

Blues to score vs GK in full size

Reds to win ball and hit server

Conditions

Red defenders asked to stay compact inside 18 yard box

Blue ST asked to stay central and as high as possible

Key factors

1st defender wins header, 2nd covers round the back

Communication- GK, defenders and MF

Not just high ball- server can feed in low to ST feet- CDM's compact no split

Reds hit server and get defensive line + GK up- don't get too deep

What if?

Goes from aerial ball from server to along floor- CDMs' narrow up

Striker attaches himself to full back- free centre half covers around

SSG

Organisation

Reds (coached) in 4-2-2 = 4-4-2 minus wingers

Blues (managed) in 2-4-2 = 4-4-2 minus full backs

Pitch tapered where full backs and wingers are missing

Conditions

Blues asked to be direct

Blue strikers asked to stay high and stretch- wingers to gamble off flick ons

Blue GK asked to not play out

Red DEF to stay narrow inside 18

Problems

Wingers getting in behind from flick ons- deeper line to limit space? GK higher?

GK playing to wingers feet- FB press, higher line?
