Football/Soccer Session (Advanced): Attacking on wide areas (Start Time: 2022-12-28 20:05:00)

Component 1

Organization:

- Three small goals at midfield

- Full half of field.

Instructions:

• 9 v 9 game
•  Attacking team on 3-3-3, defending team on 2-3-1, progress to a back 4, making 4-3-1. 
• Defending team will obtain two points if score on small goals on wide areas, 1 point scoring on small goal in the middle.
• Attacking team will obtain 3 points if score on big goal.
• Depending on where ball is after last pass before the crossing, attackers will/should run opposite. Central attacker will move outside dragging CB with him, creating space for winger to run to first post. 

Phase of play

Organization:

Attacking team will be working on middle and final third, looking for options to create attacks on wide areas of the field.

Team will go to a series of options, to create patters of play and generate creative solutions if a pattern is denied and keep playing on wide areas looking to attack.

Instructions:

Attacking team will be working 2-4-3 formation and defending team on 4-3-1 formation 

POP option 2

Organization:

3 passes to 6, 6 receives pressure from defender, pass to 4 who makes a pass to 9. Number 6 provides support creating a 2v1 attacking situation and overlaps 4, to receive from 9 on wide area to make the cross, attackers move in opposite direction to create chaos on defenders. 

What If: 

Defender denies wall pass to 4.

- 9 will have the option to pass/combine with 10 to play ball on wide areas for #4.

Instructions:

- Attacking team will be working 2-4-3 formation and defending team on 4-3-1 formation 

- Final product will depend on type of crossing, attackers will move in different direction to create confusion on defenders: if ball is too close to end line before crossingcentral attacker will run towards the goal and run back to original position  dragging CB with him, this movement will create difficulty to CB to recover as he runs in towards the goal, left wing towards first post, right wing to middle. Additionally, left back will provide runs on blind side during cross. 

POP option 4

Organization:

 Gkp passes to 6 and lays the ball back to 3. Number 9 drops to create space and drag defender out of position, to receive from 3. As this is happening 6 spins around defender to receive from 9 again and pass a thru ball towards 7 who is attacking the wide area and the space created by 9.

What If: 

Pass is denied to from 9 to 6 ?

- Number 9 can tried to combine with 7 and capitalized on the numerical advantage on wide area or take shoot if space is available or make a cross. 

Instructions:

- Attacking team will be working 2-4-3 formation and defending team on 4-3-1 formation 

- Final product will depend on type of crossing, attackers will move in different direction to create confusion on defenders: central attacker towards second post, left wing towards first post, left back to support blind side.

- Central attacker can also run towards goal and return to original position after dragging CB towards goal.
