Scenario

- White MF Players look to maintain posession in coned area by using two black neutrals to create 4v2 over load

- when blue win possession back, they play out to the nearest black neautral player, who plays a 'long ball' forward towards the blue 9 - the ball is then live in open player for blue to move out from zone and create attack - white midfield must also work back to defend

Key Points

- white back 4 must recognise posession has been lost, and there is no pressure on the ball, so they must DROP to reduce space in behind

- white CB must ATTACK the long ball and stop the number 9 from bringing it into play

- White CB and FB not attacking the ball must provide cover behind

- White MF must 'track back' to help defend SECOND BALL

DROP --> ATTACK --> COVER --> SECOND BALL

Scenario

-Play begins from coach, who plays ball into blue defender

- Blue defender then plays a 'long ball' foward towards Blue 9

- play is then live as per a normal game, every time ball is dead, coach restarts by feeding back in to blue def, process repeats (Repetititon)

Key Points

Following on from previus practise

- White back 4 need to recognise their is no pressure on the ball, so they must DROP

- CB's must look at ATTACK the ball and prevent 9 from linking the ball

- non attacking CB must DROP to provide cover for flick on or a missed header

- White MF unit look to defend SECOND BALL

DROP --> ATTACK --> COVER --> SECIND BALL
