8 vs. 4

• Mark a 25 meter wide playing field between the 18-yard box and the halfway line and arrange the mini-goals in the field according to the graphic
• 4 cones (to mark the playing field)
• 4 mini-goals
• Divide the players into two teams: Team 1 with 8 players and team 2 with 4 players
• Team 1 (8 players) will play in a 3-2-3 formation

• The two teams play against each other in an 8v4
• Goal of Team Red: Maintain possession and play through the opposition from end line to end line (within the field)
• Goal of Team Blue: Apply systematic pressure to provoke turnovers and counter fast after winning the ball. If Blue wins the ball, they can counter on the four mini-goals.
• At that point, the Red team has to counterpress immediately to win the ball back and prevent team Blue from scoring

Coaching Points:

• Use full length and width of the field (Team Red)

• Red (3-2-3): Communicate with the two central players ("turn", "back", "left shoulder")

• Try to play with two touches (max. 3 touches)

• Play out of pressure

• Movement off the ball: Create passing angles by constantly moving in the opponent's shadow
