Penetration Rondo

Penetration Rondo

-First Round, no interceptions for 3rd defender

2v1 / 3v2

3v2 and 2v1 to Goal

-2 small counter goals for defending team / alternate between two patterns shown 

A: Play 8/10 and they go 3v2 with the 9 vs the two CB's. Backline can score on counter goal if they win it back

-Open body, proper technique in receiving

-Quick movement away from ball in central channel to create space

-Find open man under pressure / dribble when not / draw defenders out, combine

-Transition IMMEDIATELY after losing ball

B: Play 7/11 and go 2v1 with 9 against LB/RB (can add recovering defender or overlapping outside back)

-Attack 1v1, be quick, decisive, deceptive, and explosive with move or combo

-If not, lay off to midfielder and play is open

-Timing, pace and shape of movement to arrive on time

-When to possess and when to penetrate, good decisions (space behind or covering defender)

-Switch the point with speed and urgency to exploit wide space
