Specific Practice (10 mins)

Key factors

Welsh way principles playing in the final third. IP. Other principles that come into play are switching play, breaking lines and creating and exploiting overloads.

Organisation

Final third practice - 6v6 + goalkeeper and common player. Ball always starts with the common player. Reds set up as if in a 4-3-3 but without the back 4 while the blues set up as if in a 4-2-3-1 without the attacking players no10 and front 3. Reds looks to combine and create goal scoring changes in the final third. Blues look to deny the reds chances and on regaining the ball look to pass the ball back into the common player or run the ball into the shaded area.

The ball always starts with the feeder.

How

Can the red team look to use positive, quick passes and movement to dis-organise the blues to try and create goalscoring opportunities. When receiving the ball, can the no4 look to link up with the players ahead of him whilst always maintaining a position to play under the ball should the ball need to be played backwards or in case the blues win the ball back and look to counter attack.

Are the other players offering width and depth to stretch the blues. Are they playing between lines and on the shoulders of defenders.

Challenges, conditions and targets

Challenges - Reds get an extra goal if they score from a cross.

Blue team must run the ball into the channel coned area within 7 seconds (recreates a counter attack).

Conditions - Reduce length of pitch so that the reds can build up closer to the final third and create more chances. Add offside line to promote realism. ..

Key Points

In Possession -

Angles and distances of support, in between and in behind, combinations to play forward into the final third, timing of runs into the final third, composure and decision making in the final third, width and depth.

Out of Possession -

Keep narrow, protect central areas, force wide, stop the cross, delay, deny and deflect.

SSG (10 mins)

Key factors

The same principles are in play from the specific part of the session.

Organisation

Small sided game - 7 v 7 - 40 m length and using the full width of the pitch. Focussing on transferring the key messages from the specific practice on final third play into the game.

How

We now have two goals in play so the team attacking must have one eye on how they should be positioned in case of a counter attack. This will add realism.

Challenges, condition and targets

As we are working in the final third we will look to play with positivity and tempo we will reward teams for this. If on winning the ball back a goal is scored within 10 seconds they will be rewarded with 3 goals. If they cant can they secure possession then look for another option.

Key Points

In Possession -

Angles and distances of support, in between and in behind, combinations to play forward into the final third, timing of runs into the final third, composure and decision making in the final third, width and depth.

Out of Possession -

Keep narrow, protect central areas, force wide, stop the cross, delay, deny and deflect.
