Description

This training focuses on developing technical and tactical skills through game-like scenarios. It starts with a warm-up that enhances control and passing under pressure, followed by build-up play from the back with and without opposition. The final match is organized in zones to improve positional synchronization, ensuring defenders and midfielders maintain structure and space. Variants emphasize quick decision-making and effective space occupation in conflict situations. The goal is to improve communication, game reading, and team automatisms in both attack and defense.
