Description
NOT TOO MUCH DIFFERENCE IN THE SYSTEM AND STYLE OF PLAY BUT I WANT TO BE HYPER FOCUSED ON HOW QUICKLY WE CAN PROGRESS THE BALL AND MOVE THE BALL PARTICULARLY IN THE MIDFIELD AREAS.
AGGRESSIVE DEFENDING/POSSESSION PRINCIPLES AND LOOKING TO SWITCH THE POINT OF ATTACK AND PROGRESS FORWARD QUICKLY FROM THERE.
FORMATIONS:IN POSSESSION, WE PLAY A 1-4-2-3-1.
OUT OF POSSESSION IN OPPONENTS HALF - 1-4-3-3 WITH A ZONAL PRESS (IF THEY BUILD UP)
OUT OF POSSESSION IN OUR OWN HALF - 1-4-5-1 - WITH A MID OR LOW BLOCK (IF THEY GO LONG)
PRINCIPLES OF PLAY:
OUT OF POSSESSION:
- ORGANIZED AND DISCIPLINED PRESS. TAKING AWAY PASSING LANES AND NOT JUST CHASING THE BALL. WHEN YOU GO THOUGH YOU MUST GO HARD. GENTLE PRESS IS NO PRESS AT ALL
- #9 INITIATES PRESS AND FORCE BALL INTO WIDE CHANNELS - FROM THERE WE APPLY PRESSURE WITH #7 & #11, WITH #6, #8, #10 APPLYING PRESSURE TO MIDFIELDERS OR BLOCKING PASSING LANES INTO DEEPER LYING MIDFIELDERS
- MIDFIELDERS ESPECIALLY MUST LOOK TO TAKE AWAY/GET TOUCH TIGHT ON PLAYERS IN FRONT OF THEM - FORCING OPPOSITION TO GO LONGER WITH THE BALL AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.
- DEFENDING AS A UNIT/COLLECTIVELY - GET COMPACT AND STAY COMPACT
- DEFENDING AS A UNIT - PRESS, SLIDE, RECOVER CENTRALLY!! RECOVER CENTRALLY WHEN BALL IS PLAYED SIDEWAYS RATHER THAN CHASING THE BALL SIDEWAYS ALL THE TIME!
- IN POSSESSION:
- PLAY THE EASY/SAFE PASS EARLY/QUICKLY
- BE MORE FOCUSED ON LOOKING FOR A GOOD PASS WHEN IN POSSESSION THAN TRYING TO DRIBBLE
- MOVEMENT OF MIDFIELDERS/OUTSIDE BACKS/ATTACKERS TO CREATE ADVANTAGE IN OUTSIDE WING AREAS.
- WITH POSSESSION IN WIDE AREAS CAN WE INVITE PRESSURE AND LOOK TO SWITCH THE BALL TO OPPOSITE SIDE OF PITCH AND ATTACK AT SPEED.
- CONTROLLED BUILD UP PLAY & BASIC INDIVIDUAL POSSESSION PRINCIPLES (FURTHER FOOT, QUALITY 1ST TOUCH, ACCURATE SHORT/MID RANGE PASSING). THIS WILL ALSO HELP UP INVITE PRESSURE TO PLAY INTO WIDE AREAS.
- CBs LOOK TO CONNECT WITH MIDFIELDERS TO PROGRESS THE BALL
- TRANSITION/CLICK MOMENTS: WE NEED TO KEEP POSSESSION IN THOSE FIRST 2-4 PASSES AFTER THE BALL CHANGES.

2nd Half Start
See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
DEFENSIVE PHASE - REGULAR
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES: ZONAL/MAN PRESS TRANSITION- DISCIPLINED BUT AGGRESSIVE.
INITIAL TRIGGER IS BASED ON THEM PLAYING OUT FROM THE BACK. OTHERWISE IT'S TRANSITIONAL BASED
OVERALL TACTICAL THEME:
INDIVIDUAL AND TEAM DEFENDING TACTICS. IF WE WIN OUR INDIVIDUAL BATTLES WE WILL THE OVERALL WAR!
STRONG INDIVIDUAL DEFENDING TECHNIQUE COMBINED WITH COMPACT, ORGANIZED DEFENSIVE UNIT (ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDFIELD AREAS)
OUT OF POSSESSION:
- ORGANIZED AND DISCIPLINED PRESS. TAKING AWAY PASSING LANES AND NOT JUST CHASING THE BALL. WHEN YOU GO THOUGH YOU MUST GO HARD. GENTLE PRESS IS NO PRESS AT ALL
- #9 INITIATES PRESS AND FORCE BALL INTO WIDE CHANNELS - FROM THERE WE APPLY PRESSURE WITH #7 & #11, WITH #6, #8, #10 APPLYING PRESSURE TO MIDFIELDERS OR BLOCKING PASSING LANES INTO DEEPER LYING MIDFIELDERS

- DEFENDING AS A UNIT/COLLECTIVELY - GET COMPACT AND STAY COMPACT
- DEFENDING AS A UNIT - PRESS, SLIDE, RECOVER CENTRALLY!! RECOVER CENTRALLY WHEN BALL IS PLAYED SIDEWAYS RATHER THAN CHASING THE BALL SIDEWAYS ALL THE TIME!

TRANSITION & COUNTER ATTACK
TRANSITION IS ALWAYS SUPER CRITICAL.
**CLICK MOMENTS**
THE TOP PRIORITY IS:
TRANSITION/CLICK MOMENTS: WE NEED TO KEEP POSSESSION IN THOSE FIRST 2-4 PASSES AFTER THE BALL CHANGES.
- **GET IT AND KEEP IT!!**
**NEW** - POSITION FIRST/HEAD UP FIRST/WHERE IS THE SPACE FIRST - NOT DRIBBLE, DRIBBLE, DRIBBLE!!
**NEW**- PLAY THE "SIMPLE" BALL EARLY. DON'T WAIT AND TAKE EXTRA UNNECESSARY TOUCHES.
** NEW** - JUST FOCUS ON QUALITY FIRST TOUCH (KEEP THE BALL MOVING SO IT ISN'T JAMMED UNDER OUR FEET) THAT ALLOWS US TO RETAIN POSSESSION, FIND THE OPEN PASS AND CONTINUE TO BUILD THE ATTACK.
**NEW** - PLAY IN THE DIRECTION WE ARE FACING!! - DON'T LOOK TO DRAG BACK, TURN INTO PRESSURE, BEAT A MAN 4 TIMES. BE SIMPLE AND DISCIPLINED
1,2,3 PASSES ACCURATELY AFTER TRANSITION WILL HELP US CREATE OPPORTUNITIES
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES WHEN WE LOSE POSSESSION: GET COMPACT, STAY COMPACT, DENY CENTRAL PENETRATION AND WIN BACK POSSESSION BY FORCING OPPOSITION INTO MISTAKES (WORK RATE!)

ATTACKING PHASE
IN POSSESSION IN THE ATTACKING HALF OF THE FIELD
************************
- PLAY THE EASY/SAFE PASS EARLY/QUICKLY (WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW FOR SOME INSPIRATION)
- BE MORE FOCUSED ON LOOKING FOR A GOOD PASS WHEN IN POSSESSION THAN TRYING TO DRIBBLE
- MOVEMENT OF MIDFIELDERS/OUTSIDE BACKS/ATTACKERS TO CREATE ADVANTAGE IN OUTSIDE WING AREAS.
- WITH POSSESSION IN WIDE AREAS CAN WE INVITE PRESSURE AND LOOK TO SWITCH THE BALL TO OPPOSITE SIDE OF PITCH AND ATTACK AT SPEED.
- CONTROLLED BUILD UP PLAY & BASIC INDIVIDUAL POSSESSION PRINCIPLES (FURTHER FOOT, QUALITY 1ST TOUCH, ACCURATE SHORT/MID RANGE PASSING). THIS WILL ALSO HELP UP INVITE PRESSURE TO PLAY INTO WIDE AREAS.
*******WHAT ARE THE CUES for DRIBBLE?********
- Do I have big space in front of me without a defender present
- Is there a big space to attack immediately behind the closest defender
- Do I have support players in better positions ahead of me
- Do I have a 1v1 situation in the area "CLOSE TO GOAL"? that I can attack
WE SHOULD NOT BE TOO KEEN TO DRIBBLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER A CHANGE OF POSSESSION AND NOT SUCCESSFUL AT FINDING THOSE FIRST PASSES AFTER TRANSITION.
RUN FIRST/BALL 2ND - ALWAYS OUR MANTRA WITH REGARDS TO ATTACKING MOVEMENTS AND MOMENTS
TRANSITION/CLICK MOMENTS: WE NEED TO KEEP POSSESSION IN THOSE FIRST 2-4 PASSES AFTER THE BALL CHANGES.
See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
ATTACKING PRIORITY
CONTROLLED BUILD UP PLAY
- CB looks for EASY pass forward. If nothing available look to cycle the ball back around the back line to move the opposition front line.
- can we build through out midfielders
- can we get our outside backs higher to give us better progression and support options
- midfielders must be on different heights and depths across the midfield areas to support the build up play and the progression into opponents half.
- details to retain possession: good 1st touch, movement off the ball, play simple in direction we are facing, play the easy ball early/quickly.
- Head up, is there a simple pass option forward? then is there a space to move into (with or without the ball)?

SET PIECES
Meat corner
SET PIECES
ATTACKING:
What are we trying to achieve in different moments of the game?
KICK OFF:
- GET THE BALL FORWARD ON KICK OFF/RESTARTS. FASTEST PLAYERS OUT WIDE AND SPRINT FORWARD ON KICK OFF. TRY TO WIN POSSESSION DEEP IN OPPOSITION HALF. ** ENSURE THE PLAYER PLAYING THE BALL LONG HAS THE CAPACITY TO PLAY THAT LONG BALL. CHRIS TO TAKE THIS IF IN THE GAME
- DO NOT SEND THE BALL BACK TO OUR 18YD LINE DURING THE KICKOFF!!!
FREE KICKS - Evan, Brennan, Ben may be asked to take kicks closer to the goal with a direct shot.
Chris N or Austin may be asked to take kicks if we are outside goal scoring range and need a good ball played into the danger area.
- if we are inside 40yds from the goal - can we create an attacking moment by putting the ball in a dangerous area.
- if we are inside 25yds - can we take a good strike on goal ensuring that we make the GK work (DO NOT PUT THE BALL OVER THE BAR OR MISS THE GOAL ENTIRELY)
IMPORTANT (THIS IS NOT HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER)
-if we are OUTSIDE 40 yds (or conditions do not allow a good ball into the box) WE POSSESS the ball (only exception, if we are losing and it is towards the end of the game - we might pump the ball in the box then).
CORNER KICKS - Austin (impossible), Ben, Brennan, Chris may take depending on who is in the game or the moment of the game.
- let's try to mix up our corner kick Repetoire!
Impossible - Player coming around the back, really deep beyond far post to head or play a ball back into the danger zone (Dylan or Tomi targets). Players in box set up outside far post and make their runs towards the corner flag first to misdirect the defenders.
Meat = 1-6 go to their spots and create multiple points of attack VEG = All on the line.
PKs - Austin, Ben, Chris, Brennan, Quino (in that order depending on who is on the field).
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DEFENDING SET PIECES
ORGANIZED QUICKLY ON SET PIECES - Our set pieces are a priority; make genuine efforts to win the ball first in defending situations. ACTUALLY TRY TO HEADER THE BALL RATHER THAN JUST JUMPING IN THE AIR!
BEST HEADER OF BALL ACTS A "FLOATER" ON DEFENDING SITUATIONS (DYLAN)
WIN THE PHYSICAL BATTLE!!!
FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT TO ACTUALLY WIN THE BALL NOT JUST TRACK THE RUN.
DON'T BE FOOLED BY FAKES AND CUTS - WIN THE BATTLE, WIN THE BALL
DEFEND IN THE 1ST PHASE, 2ND PHASE, 3RD PHASE AND BEYOND - DO NOT BE A BALL WATCHER AND LOSE TRACK OF YOUR OPPONENT
