Guided question:
What is the difference between transition from defending to attacking and winning the ball?
Where can we make our runs to be a part of the transition? (#2-3)
What is the cues/triggers for #2-3 make runs?
What is the cues/triggers for #4-5 to push up the defensive line in order the take countermeasures?
Coaching Script-What can go wrong?
Activity 1: Opponent #8-10 leaving their zones and dribbling forward
Focus: #2-3 not pushing up when #4-5 pushing up and being unbalanced in the back line
Activity 2: Opponent #7-11 staying wide and not giving chance to create 2v1 on the wide areas for the focus team
Focus: #2-3 not pushing up when #4-5 pushing up and being unbalanced in the back line
Activity 3: Focus: #6 staying too deep just like in the game and leaving a gap in the center
Focus: #2-3 not pushing up when #4-5 pushing up and being unbalanced in the back line

Creating the scenario that the opponent created against us a day ago in the last leagues game and painting the picture for desired behavior.
To start, opponent makes dummy runs in order to receive the ball.
To create the same scenario, both team's midfielders start with zone restrictions. After creating the scenario, zone restrictions will be removed and players will be observed to make sure there are no behavior changes
Keeper receiving the ball is the cue/trigger for defensive line to push up
Player Actions:
#2-3 dribbling forward and wide in order to receive the ball and start the transition from defense to offense
#4-5 pushing up the defense once #2-3 receives the ball facing to the opponent's half and closing the gap between midfielders in order to take countermeasures.
#6 delaying the opponents attack by covering the passing angles between 2 midfielders, forcing the midfielder who has the ball to wide areas to create 2v1 with the support of #2-3
Measurement of success:
Number of pushing up after an interception or tackle
