9V9 LINE UP - Reds 1-4-2-1-1
- Blues 1-2-3-3
I chose to withdraw the wide attackers from the Reds because I dont think they are required for this specific topic.
The Game
Scenario - Reds are 3-0 up with 15 minutes left in the match. Can they defend their lead?
The Ball will start from either keeper
Reds have got a maximum of 12 seconds when in possession of the ball to score.
Blues have no time cap.1 point for any goal, And will be rewarded 2 goals for scoring inside the box
Coaching Points
Reinforce the points made in the function
Talk about what position I expect my full backs to take up when they are out of possession, and give them reference points such as the 18 yard line for the 6 yard line depending on what position the ball is.

Function
For the function I will zoom ino the central area of my back 6 and work closely on the movements I expect from my 2 CBs and my 2 CDMs.
11v11 set up Reds - 1-4-2-3-1
Blues - 1-4-3-3
The Game
The ball will always start with the Reds goal keeper who will play a long pass into the feeder who will then play the ball to a blue, who will attack the Reds goal. The Blues instructions will be to simply break down the Red defence and try move them out of position to break them down.
Reds if they gain possession simply have to get the ball to the feeder (10 second limit). And then the keeper will deliver another ball and the game will restart.
