assistant coach to manage red team on defensive principles to challenge attacking team and to add realism 

conditions challanges and targets 

Play starts with the server (gk) looking to play  to either full-back or the CB/CDM. 

The blue team will look to create and exploit the overloads on the wings using the winger, full-back, and supporting central midfielder to form a triangle. 

The CB/CDM must always look to be free for the easy pass as he can either switch  play, or break the line

 or play backwards to the server illustration shows the Blues RB driving forward to bring his defender closer before looking to pass to either supporting player. The passing lines indicate the passing options each player has if they receive the ball as the oppositions defenders (red) will most likely get dragged out their position in order to mark the available players

.Challenge players to be brave and creative when exploiting the numerical advantage.

 Coach movement from the central players to get on different receiving lines so we can look to play triangles

can we look to get crosses in on goal for goal shooting opportunities 

if red team win the ball back Can they counter upon winning possession and score in either mini goal 6 seconds in possession 

Press the ball as much as possible.
