Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Willowbank YC/FC Build-Up Phase (Start Time: 2021-03-24 21:40:00)

Screen 1

Principles:
GK middle of goal
CB at edge of 18 yard line
6 edge of D
8 & 10 blind side of markers
2 & 3 high and wide.
Front 3 tight together for potential long ball

Options:
1. Play to CBs.
2. Play to 6.
3. Rotate the midfield to free up a CM.
4. Diagonal to 2/3
5. Rotate FB & CM to create space
6. Drop FB & CM close to 18 and play long to front 3 goalside of opposition defence.

Rationale:
Uses full width and 2/3 height of pitch - opposition will have to be stretched to compete.

Options provided at angles throughout, no square passes!

8 and 10 play blindside dragging players away from 6.
Front 3 keep back 4 occupied.
Contingency plan of long ball if required.

Movement when FB has ball

Rotations:
GK > CB
FB drops to give angle to CB
FB receives ball, 11 spins behind, 8 fakes then shows and has space to play forward.

Build-Up Vs 443

Principles:
Set-up as per build-up 1.
Well organised front 3 press in 433 overloads centrally 6 unable to receive.
FB drop to CB role, CB move to provider double pivot, 6 moves to a CAM role 10 and 8 in half space. 
Now 5v3 in midfield.
Play to FB to attract pressure, from opposition front 3 and CB drop toward the box to show.
FB plays back to GK, CM on that side moves into space left by FB creating a 2v1 out wide with winger.

Options: 
High pressure = FB 1-2 with GK attract pressure play into areas FB left where 8/10 will arrive.

Once on the ball 9 and 7 make diagonal runs behind defence, 6 comes to give an option and 11 has a choice to show or go behind.
