Football/Soccer Session (Advanced): Liberty Developing Plan 21/22 season

Liberty Developing Plan 21/22 season

Developing Plan for Liberty U14 Season 21/22

on Attacking phase

Mainly formation 1-4-3-3

Variation 1-3-5-2

This year we mainly focus on the 20 zone model base on positional game 

the main goals is move on block high on the field to try to get numerical advantage between the lines in order to:

• Dominate the ball in Dangers position 
• Manipulate the other team position (Possession with a purpose)
• Create space to score opportunities 

• Where the team will be based on the zone the ball is 
• How to select the most deeper pass is 
• know when to overload different section of the field

Week 1 - Improving score opportunities

We looking to build the attacking habit on ZONE 19

#7 , 11 must find the inside diagonal run, to create space 

# 9 must find the blind side of the defender one or two touches to finish 

# 10, 8 look to combine to penetrate the defensive line or look for long shoot on goal 

# 6 support 8 and 10 on the build attack 

#2,3 must jump on zones to   

# 4, 5 move up 

week 3 - Building out of the back.(Improving GK as option)

When the team  playing out from the back, The team should always aim at penetrating defensive lines and progressing up the field. Although patience is needed, every player should check whether a pass into depth without losing the ball is possible.

 if the opposition is pressing high, there will appear space between the lines which needs to be exploited. If there is no space, this means that the opponent has heavily shifted towards the ball, opening up space on the ball far side. If none of these areas are exploitable, one needs to further stretch the opposition. That is possible with backwards passes.

These assumptions create our first principle:

1 First look deep, then wide and last but not least playback !

If the opposition is not pressing high but just shifting horizontally, the team has to make sure to create gaps . When a centre-back, for example, dribbles towards the opposition block, the opponent will try to get into an even more compact shape to avoid passes into their block. That way, one creates space around the block. In general, if the opponent is not moving, make them move.

 Always occupy opponents and then accelerate circulation to exploit the created space.  there are only three options: diagonal, vertical, horizontal. Depicting the effect of a pass that is played diagonal/vertical/horizontal, there appear clear preferences. Whereas a ball that is played diagonally can overplay vertical and horizontal lines of the opposition, a vertical or horizontal pass only overplays either vertical or horizontal lines. Moreover, receiving a diagonal ball is easier since you can position yourself sideways seeing ball and goal at any time (open body shape).

Diagonal > Vertical > Horizontal

 one should always attempt to progress up the field when playing out from the back. Small details can decide whether a player can turn and play on forwards. If possible, players should always play a pass onto the front foot of the receiving player. That way, the player can face the opposition goal when receiving and it is more likely that he spots a spare man in a more advanced area. Furthermore, if the receiving player has space in front of him, one should play the ball into the space to enable progression up the field

 Pass onto the front foot or into space, if possible.

 the body shape of the receiving player, the first touch, verbal and non-verbal communication between players and many other individual principles affect the success rate when playing out from the back.

week 5 - Transition attacking defending (what to do when the team loose the ball after the attacking

• The team must work on unit and instantly shift mentality from Attacker to defender 
• develop the understanding of  the player roll on transition 

We will set fundamental principal in order to have the best organized transition possible 

• work in every action pressuring the ball immediately after they loose possession of the ball

• supporting position to prevent the opposition get out of pressure 
• counter press
• compact mid block after press is beaten
•  flexible ball side low block
