(PDP) Counter-attacking & Shooting 2
Practice organisation
• Full pitch with goals, as illustrated.
• 22 players (incl. 2GKs), organised into 2 teams of 11, 1 ball.
• Attacking team arranged 4-4-2, with strikers positioned 20yds over
halfway line, as shown in diagram.
• 4 players (2FB’s & 2 Wide MF’s) for Defending team stand off the
side of pitch at marked points.
• Practice starts with: ball fed by coach into MF pair
(opposed by their opposite numbers) within centre circle.
• MF’s feed available wide or central strikers & team has
8 seconds to strike at goal.
• After quick attack: 4D’s from outside the area quickly
enter pitch.
• Possession is immediately fed (by coach) into the same attacking
team’s central MF’s & normal build-up play develops.
• Play then continues in slow build-up or quick attacks.
• Whichever team takes possession: objective is to produce
a strike at goal either quickly or in a slower attack.
• At conclusion of slower build-up attack: original set-up
is re-established.
Detail
• Early decisions to be made by individual players on reception of
ball on whether to pass or run with ball.
• Strength & direction of receiving/first touch important & body
shape to receive.
• Timing & quality of passes for runners, in behind, between or in
front of D’s.
• Players need to understand whether to continue with counterattack
or whether to change the tempo & intent of the attack
• Simple progression for this practice is:
- After a sequence of 10 attacks: teams change places.
Key coaching points
• On taking possession: move play forward as early & quickly as
possible with a pass or run.
• After A’s first touch: attack centrally as quickly as possible to produce
a strike on goal.
• Examine movement off ball to receive passes to conclude counter-attack.
• Slow-build-up play needs to focus on dispersal of players as a team &
as units.
• Movement of supporting players to ensure possession in build-up play.
• Decision-making, accuracy, variety of passes & passing tempo in
possession during slow build-up.
