Game: 5v6 + K + K

Game

Time: 4 x 6 min + 30 seconds recovery

Scenario:

Each team gets a chance to be 1-0 up and cannot draw

Attacking Phase Organization:

Use a variety of passes to unbalance the block (up, back and through)
Occupy spaces in behind lines of midfield
Penetrating runs from inside (underlaps) - 7, 11, 8, 9, 10,
Switching of lanes after pinning opposition to one side to find underloads in wide areas

Attack > Defend Transition Phase:

Mindset changes when we lose the ball to hunt - counter-pressing
Stop forward passing actions from the opposition
Recovery runs are sprints back
Delay and Deny to get into defensive block - with focus on CBs dealing with forward runs from opposition's 7, 11, 9

Defensive Phase Organization:

Tight team to close lines
Controlled agression to force mistakes/triggers for pressing
Dominate the middle - 6, 8, 10, 4, 5

Defend > Attack Transition Phase:

Look to play forward with numbers up to get behind opposition and score before a compact defensive block is set up
7, 11, 9, 8, 10 make forward penetrating runs on ball carrier's forward-facing cues
