Specific Practice

Organisation
- Seven reds (1 x GK, 3 x DF's, 2 x CM's & 1 x No. 10).
- Five blues (1 x CB/feeder, 2 x CM's & 2 x CF's).
- Playing area - goal line to the half wayline, width of the 18 yard
box.
-
How it works
- The blue CB/feeder will playthe ball into the two CM's who will
attempt to playinto the forwards.
- If the blues manage to playinto one of the forwards or break into
the final third, theycan attempt to score.
- If the reds manage to win possession of the ball, theycan score
in one of the two goals on the halfwayline.
- Start with a 2 v 2 in the highlighted area, once the first pass is
played the red No. 10 can recover to create a 3 v 2 in favour of the
reds. This will help to create the overload.
-
Key coaching points - reds
- No. 10 recovers to create the overload, either behind the ball to prevent the pass forward or cut the passing lanes sideways or
backwards.
- Maintain shape and organisation.
- Utilise the overload to surround the player on the ball.
-
Manage the opposition - blues
- Width & depth.
- Use combinations.
- Speed of play.
-
Conditions
- The blue CB/feeder is restricted to staying behind the halfwayline.
- The reds have 6 seconds to score once they win possession of the ball.
-
Challenges
- Red No. 10 - create an overload and be an outlet to go forward.
- Blues - stretch the defence as much as possible to create passing lanes.
-
Targets
- Reds - create a 3 v 2 in the central area and use the extra player to win the ball.
- Blues - Create goal scoring chances.
-
What ifs
- What if the blues manage to break the midfield line? - midfielders make recoveryruns.
- What if the reds win possession? - blue transition from attack to defence.
