Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Disturbing Build Up in 442 Diamond vs 433

Functional 1 6v2 to 6v3

Description

• The coach starts the action by passing the ball into one of the squares
• The team in this square is now the team in possession of the ball
• The other team must try to win the ball, for this purpose two players run directly into the square and chase the ball, two others secure the space in between and the remaining two stay in their square
• After a certain number of passes, another defender is added and a 6 vs. 3 is played (if the possession team plays well, it becomes more difficult and the pressure increases)
• If the team in possession loses the ball or the ball leaves the square, the coach immediately plays a new ball in the other square and the tasks change
• Alternatively, when the ball is won, the defenders can pass the ball into their own square

Player Detail:

- Educating the players on various ways of defending in a high block (442) diamond with T2A against 433

Opposition

- Look to play through the wide areas and go and score. Be patient and move us side to side and looking to score.

- Full backs high and wide, wide players on shoulders of our full backs. CF high with #8 and #10 in between the lines. 1 Pivot looking to build as much as possible centrally.

My Team

- Two centre forwards use edge of the box as starting positions..  Where is the ball, where is the full back and can I press from out to in.

- #10 starts north side and screens passes into 6.

- 8 and 7 play outside of the opposition 8 and 10.

- Aggressive pressure applied once ball goes into central zones.

- Get tight and be aggressive in central zones (234).

- 8 and 7 jump to full back if ball does get wide. Showing inside with body shape.

- Back 4 play on half way line. Aggressive in their defending and ready to jump at all costs.

- Smart fouls advised if we get played through.

- Body shape when no pressure on ball, use bounce and nudge to offset wide players and CF

T2A

- End product, shots on goal. How many at end of session?

- Use central areas to attack as we have overload.
