Animation 1

Start in our 2-4-2 shape and play 1or2 touch high tempo combinations. Wide players occupy the wide mannequins.

1.forward player movement and 'yes' comms dictates the pass

2. CM bounces of winger,. follows pass and changes angle. shouts yes to demand ball

3. bounces of central striker, then other winger then through ball for cross and finish.

4. CM takes place of striker

Coaching points try in few touches as possible

Nice weight of pass so they can run on to it

Try for one touch and high tempo all the way

Hold up play for front players - come off them towards ball and shield

Screen 3

Start in our 2-4-2 shape and play 1or2 touch high tempo combinations. Wide players occupy the wide mannequins.

1. AF and NE combine to take the striker out of the game

2. PVE drops deep in front of 3 mannequins to create space in behind. good movement and 'yes' comms dictates the pass into his feet 

3. Then one touch lay off to one of CM

4. CM decides early which of the other front 3 he passes it into and follows the pass in behind the line.

5. Now we are really aware of THREE movements and creating the space - THE WINGERS RUN, PHOENIX RUN and CM run Next pass plays either 

a) PVE or CM in directly for an easy chance 

b) Winger or JB for the sweaty to PVE 

c) Winger or JB for cutback to CM

Try both strikers coming deep and playing wingers in for finish or winger to winger sweaty

Try both strikers coming deep and CM overlapping winger

Coaching points try in few touches as possible

Nice weight of pass so they can run on to it - keep the same weight of pass throughout

Try for one touch and high tempo all the way

Hold up play for front players - come off them towards ball and shield

Rotate the 4 midfielders constantly 

Swap wingers with max and Youssef after a while

Then Rico and Rudy with defenders

Remaining players working the other goalie with a foot drill or doing the fast feet exercise with Louis
