Setting The Standard (5 mins)

Organisation

1/4 pitch

9 players - 1 goal keeper, 2 defenders (+1 recovery run - with progression) & 7,11,9,10 as attackers

Activity

Working on penetration and looking for a penetrating pass into the striker.

To start it will be 4 attackers v 2 defenders plus goal keeper.

Centre Midfielder will play the ball into the striker who will then bounce the ball back to the centre mid.

The striker will then peel off angling his run for the centre mid to play a penetrating pass.

Wide attackers will also support if the pass into the striker is not on and will give another option.

As attacking centre mid plays first pass into the striker a recovering midfielder will go in and try and help the defender.

If the defenders win the ball they try and score into one of the two small sided goals.

Coaching Points

Striker come in short to link up with centre mid

Centre mid passing onto strikers safe side

Communication whether to hold the ball up and take a touch or bounce back first time

Once bounced back from striker drive at defender creating 2v1

Striker spin off creating and angle and into space for a pass from centre mid

Progression (5 mins)

Progression

Progressing into a 5v4. 2 wide attackers push up to create 3 strikers. 1 other centre midfielders come in to create 2. 2 wide midfield defenders to pick up 2 extra strikers. plus recovering midfielder.

Still looking to work on penetration either by a pass or dribble.

Still playing the ball into the striker and looking for them to spin off, but now with an extra 2 attackers alongside the striker to create a front 3 (Barcelona).

If the penetration pass into the striker isn't on we are looking for 1 of the attacking wide players to make a run in behind the defender.

Movement can first go in behind then if that's not on they can go fake to go in behind and go across the front.

If none of the options are on keep possession and be patient.

Coaching Points

Timing of the run

Fake to go in behind then across the front getting your arm across body between defender and ball

Suck defender in making pitch big for space to go into

Pep's 3 P's - position, patience & possession then freedom
