Description

Main Moment: BPO 

Key Principle: Limit opponents goal scoring opportunities.

Football Problem (using the 5W’s):

What: Closing down the distance between us and the opponent..NO Urgency, standing off

Who: #2,#3,#4,#5,#6 and #8

When: outside the penalty box

Where: Our back 3rd

Why: we let our opposition have to much space and time on the ball in our back 3rd.

Football Problem: Our opponents have to much time to combine and create goals scoring opportunities in our back 3rd because we don't show enough URGENCY to close the options quickly.

Session Objective: I aim to improve….. my team's ability to close down our opponents goals scoring opportunities with individual defending speed, angled runs and staying compact.

Team Task: Closed down the space between the ball and attacker as soon as possible denying them any opportunities to combine and score.

Player Tasks: (General / Position-specific):

#3 & #4

-Keep the back line tight and compact through communication and movement,

-Move/slide in the direction of where the ball is played.

-1st player to press the ball

-Can not be beaten in a 1v1.

-If the #9 or #10 move to receives the ball, look to intercept the square/forward ball.

-force them toward the sideline with an angled run in behind our #5 or #2 

-Work both sides of the park to create the "ambush"/overload.

#5 & #2

-If the #7 or #11 presses high, can you press them (depending on which side the ball is played)

-Cut off the forward passing lanes on the inside 

-Don't let the attacker cut inside unless the support is there.

-Force them towards the sideline

#6 & #8 

-When there #10 presses high to support, can you pick up there midfield players #6 & #8 or #10 "in touching distance".

-Hold the space in between to cut off the passing lanes

-If one goes the other holds.
