Defending When Outnumbered (2v1) (15 mins)

Coaching Points

Delay – Approach the ball and slow down the opposition, allowing for the rest of the defence to get back into shape.

Deny – deny attackers space, time and free shot on goal. Prioritise protecting the goal.

Deflect – Side on positioning, showing ball carrier away from goal but blocking off passing channel.

Using Wide Players

Using the Wide Players (15 Mins) -

Coach feeds the ball into the midfielder playing within middle third. The objective is to use a player inside the wide channels. The ball must be played inside a wide zone before a goal can be scored. Only one player from the defending team is allowed into the channel. No restrictions on the number of attackers allowed in the wide channel.

Coaching Points

Players in the wide areas need to stay as wide as possible to create more space and try to receive the ball facing towards goal.

Encourage middle players to distribute the ball out wide as quickly as possible.

Wingers attack the space.

Create 2v1 overloads in the wide channels as only 1 defender is allowed in that channel at a time.

Decision making - shoot, cross or cut back?
