1 vs 2 Variation

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players

Setup

Pitch: Cones mark the playing area; a goal stands at one end.

Equipment: 1 goal, cones and several balls.

Players: Attackers and defenders are divided up; the defenders form pairs. The attackers position themselves on the left wing, the first pair of defenders in front of the goal. Plus a goalkeeper.

Procedure

  • An attacker starts towards the goal with a ball.
  • The two defenders try to win the ball.
  • After every round the pair of defenders and the attacker change.

Tip

  • The defenders with the overload always defend aggressively.
  • They keep a slight staggering in depth and a sideways position to the attacker.
  • The defender who steps up steers the attacker towards the partner in order to double up on the attacker there in a 2 vs 1.
  • The partner waits until the attacker under pressure lets the ball run loose briefly, and then attacks immediately and aggressively forwards.
