Football/Soccer Session (Difficult): DEP Theme 8 - Defensive third defending 2v1 on the flank (Start Time: 2016-07-03 09:00:00)

Analytic (30 mins)

Setup:

16 players, 7 orange + GK and 7 blue + target. Two flanks and an end zone for the target player.

Orange 1-4-3, Blue 1-4-2-1.

Blue team will have 2 wide players on the flanks who are not allowed in.

Objective:

The blues always start having the target player passing to one of the blue wide players who should be always in the squares when the play starts.

The player who receives the ball should always advance on the flank and is allowed to play inside just if he moves over a cone line.

The moment the blue player touch the ball 2 orange players are allowed getting on the flank and deffend.

The blues can score just if the ball is crossed or passed from the flank into the box.

The orange have to play the target in order to score.

Coaching Points:

-Press and cover, 1st defender press while the 2nd cover

-Use the numeric superiority to win the ball faster and more often than 1v1, 2v1 or 2v2

-Communication from 2nd defender so 1st defender could try to win the ball

-Body position

-Cutting the passing lane to inside and force the player to the outside

-Timing when trying to win the ball
