Description

What:

Improve the ability to create high-scoring chances in wide areas.
Improve the ability to deliver accurate passes into the box
In box movement and actions to finish deliveries.
Secondary: improve rest defense positioning

Who:

Primary: #2/#3/#9/#9/#10
Secondary: #4/#5/#5/#6

Where:

In the final third, wide channels

When:

When in an organized attack in the wide channels

Why:

We dont always deliver the ball to dangerous areas. When the ball is delivered, we dont have players in the box, or make the create movement to unmark from defenders.

In Possession Principles

Create an attacking shape: Pin the back line, creating depth, and wingbacks to occupy width.
Attack the box: fill zones in front of goal: near post/back post/penalty spot/edge of box.
Separate (disconnect) from marker: double movements to create space from defender. Operate on defenders blind side.

Out of Possession Principles

Central compactness
1st 2nd and 3rd defending principles
Track runners in behind
Manto man marking in the box

AC Roles

Echo global coaching points made by HC
Provide individual technical and tactical info to players
Support transition of activities
Work on counter principles (against the ball)
