Description

Session Objective : Build-up’ efficiently and find players in advanced positions

We are in possession and opposition set up with the 9 and four players in a high line of confrontation

Their line of confrontation and compactness create density in our defensive third. They press the ball carrier and limit forward short passing option. They also dictate the direction by forcing us to play one way

We are going to improve the team ability to maintain possession until we can progress beyond the first line of defense and find players in advanced position when 1/4/5/6 are in possession

HOW – What are the principles when we are in possession in our defensive half? TEAM TASKS / PLAYER TASKS

Create space and passing lines to maintain possession

Combine short passes to unbalance the opposition and penetrate

Change the point of attack when we can’t penetrate
