THEME: 3v2 Attacking into 3v4 Transition to Defend – Position Specific

DESCRIPTION OF PRACTICE (TECHNIQUE / SKILL)

A functional practice designed to improve players awareness, decision making, movement and finishing in the final third with Transition to Defend

ORGANISATION

  • Area: Double box  
  • 3 Blue players (CF, WR & WL) v 2 Yellow players (RCB & LCB) + Goalkeeper
  • Blue players start the practice with emphasis on scoring in a 3 v 2 scenario
  • If a Yellow player wins the ball or the Goalkeeper saves a shot they then Transition to Attack with the RB & LB joining them in attack to create an overload with the purposes of playing a pass to any of the 3 Blue Players waiting in the red gates
  • If the Yellow players are successful in passing to any of the 3 Blue players waiting in the gate the Blue players then attack straight away with the waiting Yellow players (RCB & LCB) coming in also to create a new 3 v 2 situation with the game having the same purpose. The previous players must leave the area as quickly as possible picking up their waiting position

COACHING POINTS

  • Look for players to create both space and time in possession – positioning off the ball
  • Angles and distance of support, can the player on the ball pass to you or into space for you to attack?
  • Encourage players to play with their head up, to be aware of pressure from opposition – entice to exploit!
  • End product – attacking play to be quick with creative influence, i.e. movement, dribbling, passing, shooting
  • Quick transitions in both attack and defence
  • Communication and awareness is key from all players involved

NOTES

Let the game flow freely allowing the players to make their own decisions – Freedom and Focus
