Specific (10 mins)

Specific Practice

Focus team (Red) in a 1-4-3-3. Missing fullbacks and a GK = 2-3-3

Opposing team (Blue) in a 1-4-3-3 with no Wingers 10 or 9 =1-4-2

15 players total

Walkthrough to present problem 1 (1-2 mins)

- Ask opposition back 4 and midfield 2 from to concentrateon remaining compact and limit ability of focus team to play through them centrally.(Challenge them to keep 10m distances maximum between players and between units,occupy only 3 channels when defending, they are 1-0 with 10 mins to play)

- Score in mini goals within 6 seconds if they winthe ball back.

PLAY Block 1 (3 mins)

- Allow solution 1 to organically develop as spacearound the outside should be obvious

Coaching Points:

- Full width on both sides of the field and occupyall 5 vertical channels when we have the ball

- Short passes to Ball circulation speed. Passingwith PURPOSE. Mechanics of receiving with open body shape and directional preptouch to allow to step in and play quickly off second touch. Passing empathy(How would you like to receive this ball?)

- Create and expose weakside opportunity. If opportunityto go forwards is there, go quickly. If not, recycle and switch again.

Block 2 (3 mins)

- Problem 2. Full-backs no longer sliding acrossand start to cheat out towards Wingers.

- Solution: Can we attack the half space they areleaving exposed?

Coaching Points

- Wingers roll inside to pin full-backs, CM canget higher / rotate out into wide area as CB steps in to overload
