Description

Main Moment: BP

Key Principle: Effective Possession 1. Structured Build up

Football Problem (using the 5W’s):

What: Goalkeeper (GK) and back 3 unable to play out ball from the back when GK has possession.

Who: GK, #2, #3, #5 & support play from #6,#8,#7,#11

When: GK has possession

Where: In my teams defensive 3rd

Why: No width from #2 & #5 & #3 poor positioning when GK has ball. #6 & #8 not combining with #3, #4, #7, #11

Session Objective: I aim to improve….. My Teams ability to play out from the back in when our GK has the ball. Our aim is to keep possession and build up play through better positioning of our #2,#3 &,#5 who will combine with our #6 & #8.

Team Task: To maximise the total width of the pitch in structured build up from the back, make field as big as possible when GK has ball, creating space for our backs to combine with our #6 & #8.

Player Tasks: (General / Position-specific):

-Wide players #2, #5, #7, #11 to push on high and wide

-#3 to move across the box to move the attackers.

-GK to play spare player (player not marked & not under immediate pressure)

-#6 & #8 to create they work space, check off away from defensive.

-#2, #3, #5 to recognise that if they are getting pressed to one side, a quick switch to opposite side will create overloads or 1v1’s switched side.

-GK to offer support option if there is a defensive block, if GK receives ball, look to switch play asap.

-#9 to create space for the wide players by running off the ball, checking in and checking out, be in position to create 1v1s or 2v1s.
