Description

Session for USW 3rd Team: - Matchday - 2 or Matchday + 5

Only 1 session in the week. The main objective was to prepare against our next opponent who press in a 4 2 3 1 with a high press. They do try to play out from the back but make mistakes. Also taking into consideration our last game where we didn't have enough confidence to keep possession and were trying to play forwards in every situation

Planned Interventions: -

Team Meeting: At the beginning of the session to explain
Walkthrough: - Players will walk through the practice before playing time
Freeze: - Pause practice to rectify common errors ( To help players understand positioning during SSG of the back 6 and in build-up during Positional Games)
Concurrent: - Feedback to players on the go to avoid a decrease in ball rolling time
Bullseye: - Individual feedback to a certain player by pausing practice for him/her only. Others keep playing. (Some players got very conscious so had to avoid this especially Fabrizio)
Conditions/Targets/Challenges: - To challenge certain players who may find the drill easy or to encourage them to find different solutions.

Learning Objectives

	Technical Runs into space, Body shape, Weight of pass
	Tactical Positioning and timing of runs
	Physical Aerobic and Anaerobic
	Psychological Concentration and focus to play at full intensity without pressure
	Social Communication by the group as to when to go

Pattern Play (15 mins)

Description: - Players start with a Dynamic Stretch followed by 2 patterns of a 4 2 2 2.

Pattern A: - Full back passes to CB, who plays to the dropping ST or attacking midfielder. He needs to turn or play it to the winger running behind the defense line (In case he can't turn he lays it off to one of the midfielders who either plays the penetrative pass himself or switches play)

Pattern B: - CB passes it to Full back who plays it to the winger, The winger needs to do a wall pass with the attacking midfielder and run behind the defense line.

In both patterns once the ball goes behind the defense line, the far side winger and the ST/AM on the other side runs inside the box to finish the cross first time

Blocks: - 90 secs x 6 with 30 secs dynamic stretches in the middle

Coaching Points: -

Before receiving, important to fake your movement to the other side to create space and time
Start the fake movement when receiver gets the ball
Move the way you wanted to once the ball receiver has made eye contact
When running behind, look the ball and run to time your run well (Ball contact made, be in line with the defense line)
Weight of pass: - Soft one to layoff and hard pass to turn with clear communication

Learning Objectives

	Technical Receiving, Weight of Pass, Body Shape. Defending, Shooting
	Tactical Positioning during build up, Front line press
	Physical Anaerobic and Intensive
	Psychological Concentration and absorb tactical instructions. React to the situations well
	Social Communication between players both verbally and non verbally

Positional Game (25 mins)

Description: - 2 boxes. Each box should have 1 GK on the goal, 2 CBs, 2 FBs and 2 DMs. (1 4 2) against a 4 man press playing in a 3-1 shape. The Team in possession needs to transfer the ball to the other side either through passes or through dribbling. Once the ball goes into the other box, the same structure is repeated. In case defenders win the ball, they need to score inside the big goal and attackers need to counter-press.

Blocks: - 180 secs x 6 with 60 secs rest between blocks

Regressions: - Only 3 players will press or increase width to the whole field.

Progressions: - 2 specific gates through which only passes can be made (AM positions)

Coaching Points: -

Team in Possession

GKs: - Always move to give options to your teammates. In case of full pressure, try to play forward to AMs
CBs: - Need to understand from where is pressure coming from and try and access the space behind the press.
FBs: - If winger pressing out to in, try to come deeper or stay higher to connect CB through DM. In case winger presses in to out, Use DM to make a wall pass or pass it into next grid (AM in the match). In case of no pressure, hold your position and make passes to DM
DM: - Never be in the same horizontal line as FB. Understand where pressure is coming from and try to connect to the free player or back to the GK. Always keep an open body shape when possible to play forwards
In case of ball loss, counterpress together

Team out of Possession

Press forcing play to one side and leave furthest player free
Wait for triggers to press i.e., a bad receive or receive facing backwards and till that time keep shifting blocking progression
All press together or don't press and hold
