Description

Coaching Points

  • Cutting off supply lines to the front players is a mixture of blocking, pressing and intercepting
  • Players in the midfield in this game face a 2v1, making it easier for one team and harder for the other to protect the back four
  • Deny space in behind 
  • Communication 
  • Anticipate play 
  • Recognize when there is pressure on the ball vs when there is no pressure on the ball

WHY USE IT 

Players protecting the defense will often find themselves in different number combinations and quite frequently they will be on their own facing quick attackers. This session coaches individual players in forcing play and blocking advancing opponents.

SET UP

Set up an area of 30x15yd split into three 10-yard zones. You will need balls, bibs, cones and two goals.We’ve used 12 players.

HOW TO PLAY 

Split your players into two teams of six including keepers. One team is playing2-2-1 and the other is playing2-1-2. Players are in zones as in the diagram and must stay in their zones. Play starts with a pass out from the goalkeeper to one set of defenders, and the ball must be received in each zone to make it count as an attack. The set up should be 2v2, 2v1, and 2v1. Players in the middle zone must try to protect their back two.

#1 - The game starts with a pass out from the keeper to a defender who plays it wide into midfield.

#2 - The white defending midfielder moves towards the ball to close down the player.

#3 - Alone in a 2v1 in the middle zone, the defensive midfielder works hard to cut the supply chain by forcing his opponent back.

#4 - The defensive midfielder then makes a great block to put the ball out of play.
