Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Aust vs Spain BPO > BP

Passing Practice

Football Problem : When the goalkeeper gains possesion (making a save or collecting the ball.)he is very slow to reacte to quickly start a counter attack and exploit the space created by an unorganized opposition. Back 4 slow to take up BP positions, 7,9 & 11 are not quickly making themselves availible as an oulet for a counter attack.
