1 vs 1 on the Wing from Short Distance

Setup

Pitch: Four cones and two goals.

Equipment: 2 goals, 4 cones and 1 ball per pair of players.

Players: All players spread out in pairs across both wings of the half pitch.

The start always alternates from one side to the other.
The attacker dribbles at the defender from a short distance. The attacker therefore has to go past the defender explosively, ideally using a feint.
The aim is to finish on the goal behind the defender.
If the defender wins the ball, the defender has the option of countering through the cone goal.
Afterwards the pair joins the group on the opposite side and swaps roles there for the next round.

The defender closes off the inside lane, that is the direct route to goal.
The defender takes up a side-on position to the attacker at a short distance of about two metres.
Where appropriate, the defender uses defensive feints.
The defender takes note of the opponent's particular traits, for example if the opponent only dribbles with the right foot.
At first the defender drops back and keeps the distance to the ball.
As soon as the attacker tries to break through, the defender closes in, forces the attacker further towards the outside and tries to intercept the ball or to cross the attacker's path.
