Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Disturbing opponents build up play. (Start Time: 2022-04-10 18:00:00)

Match Situation

Description of Match situation:

Here red team is opponent. 

- Whenever opponent tried to build-up from the back, our midfield was open which allowed easy pass towards opponents midfield.

- As soon as opponent midfielder had the ball we were not tight enough on them which allowed them to turn and play deep passes to attacking players who made the movement behind our defensive line.

Goal setting for next training session:

Disturbing opponents build up play by making sure that attackers, midfielders, defenders are working together when opponent is trying to build up from the back, opponent keeper has the ball in his/her 18 yard box, opponent is making the pitch as big as possible.

Learning and Practice phase

8+K v 8+K. Formation of red team(opponent): 1-4-3-1. Formation of team to be coached: 1-2-5-1.

Rules:

1) If the ball goes out or if the goal is scored then we start always by opponent team goalkeeper.

2) Team to be coached has 15 seconds to score the goal, if they have the ball. (Transition from defense to attack).

3) if team to be coached scores then it counts double.

Coaching Points:

- Team to be coached striker should make a curve movement towards the ball as soon as the ball is played to one of the center back.

- As soon as the ball with one of the center back then the 7 or 11 of team to be coached should hold middle of the pitch compact.

- As soon as the ball with opponent back then 7 or 11 should initiate a press and others should shift towards the side of the ball.

- The furthest winger of the coaching team should have body position open so that he can see man and ball.

- As soon as team to be coached wins the ball via press then should look to counter attack by making movement without the ball and score within 15 seconds.
