1 vs 1 Defending Behind the Attacker

Pitch: Four to six cones mark out the playing area; there is a goal at each end.

Equipment: 2 goals, 4 to 6 cones and all available balls on the attackers' side.

Players: One defender and one attacker are in the middle of the playing area. The remaining defenders spread out to the left and right level with the middle of the playing area, the remaining attackers behind one goal.

• The central attacker gets free from the defender and receives a pass from an attacker behind the goal.
• The attacker tries to control the ball quickly despite the high speed and to finish on the goal behind.
• The defender goes with the attacker fully actively and tries to win the ball. If this succeeds, the defender counters on the attackers' goal.
• After the finish, the attacker who played the pass becomes the new central attacker, and a new defender takes up the defending position from the left or the right. The previous attacker and the previous defender join their groups.
