Tactical outcomes: Spread opponents, and expose the space in wide areas to create scoring opportunities with the overload.

In Possession: Understand when and how to exploit a numerical advantage against the opposition.

Out of possession (Manage):Press quickly Protect the middle Leave the furthest player.

Split pitch into 2 35 x 35 areas with a 5m scoring zone at each end with goals reversed, 5x5 area in the middle of the pitch. 6v6 + Common player. 

1. (Terminal)  3 passes in own half, one player can drop in to make it 4(+1) v 3 - MAke the pitch big & wide, 3 touch max, ball at waist height.

2. (Walkthrough) Wide defensive player should overlap/underlap to isolate the defender 2v1 if the middle defender comes across the switch should be on and we have a 2v1 on the opposite flank.

3. (Terminal) Can now play above waist height, be direct, try to get forwards in behind, and defence turning

4. SCENARIO - Reds are 2-2 with 3 mins to go, a point isn't enough to win the league, Blues will win the league with a point.  The reds should be direct, win the ball back early & be direct, getting the ball forward to score.

Screen 3 (20 mins)

9v9 including gk

Split pitch into 3 thirds

3 v2 in attacking thirds, 3v3 in middle third, ball must be played through the 3rds one player can support in the next third to create an extra option

Play for 6 mins -  3 touch max, 6 seconds to score in the final third, shots in the final third only, once the ball is in the final third it can't go back and can pass or dribble into the next third, what are the risks and rewards of doing either?

When stopped: Highlight the importance of playing with 100% intensity, don't let the ball go dead, and be direct in the final third. TALK ABOUT POMO. work for each other off the ball, make it hard for each other, overlaps/underlaps. play for another 6 mins.

Remove pitch markings & play live.

Psychological Outcomes: ​


Take risks, decision making, what type of run?​
