Description

This session requires good communication between the defender line and midfielder line and a high level of concentration to deal with pressure. In addition, the communication skills between the player and his/her teammate play a major role. Effective communication between the players will result in peace and confidence within the team (Akdagcik and Mamak, 2016).

concentration can help the players to ignore the distractions, lets them handle the anxiety or pressure and it will allow the player to see things earlier and notice smaller details that can give them an edge (Sarah and Whiteman, 2016).

SSG (15 mins)

Key Factors

In SSG part the server will be the Blue goalkeeper again

All the midfielder can go to the final third if it's needed.

Red team

They need to protect the middle by staying compact and narrow. They also need to use man to man strategy to stop the opposition from scoring. They also need to force them (close the inside and show the outside) and stop them from crossing. For example, put the body on the line and force them to go back. when they won the ball back, if they score under 8 second they will 3 points.

If the ball gets to the wingers, the two CB need to stay in a certain area( will be marked by flat marker) to protect the middle and stop the opponent to score.

The midfielder line needs to stay connected with the defender line and take their position if needed( when the red team try to make a counter-attack).

In this part, one of the midfielders will mostly act as a striker.

Blue team

In this part, they need to get the ball into the final third quickly. In this case, they need to pass the ball to the wingers and cross it the ball into 18 years. They need to make sure they will have enough number in the box. Strikers need to make their run and movement as soon as the wingers get on the ball. They need to concentrate on their final pass, a different type of combination and first touch finish.
