5 vs 7

- The focus of this form of play is on the one hand on learning the routes of the four-defense chain with the options of quickly switching from defense to attack or ball control after winning the ball. On the other hand, this type of game trains over- or underpowered teams how to play a four-way defense chain with the focus for the over number team to immediately press after losing the ball. - The paths of the players in the chain of four are to move forward and back to the ball or to the left and right. Often players move inward as they move forward. However, a depth staggering should be achieved and so the player has to continuously move sideways to the rear. - The defenders always act in a group and must not be too far apart. - The goal for the defenders is to either get possession of the ball or to push the attacker in possession of the ball to the side into the goal-safe area and to block the pass route to the goal / to the teammate by double or indenting. The midfielder tries to double or to block the pass. - On the offensive, permanent movement, talking to each other and fast, precise passing play are required. According to the 1-4-2 formation, the players have to be staggered in depth and consequently movement on a line must be avoided (depth staging means creation of allusion stations). The outside lane players should use the width of the field and be positioned on the outside line. - If the attack is carried out via the outside lane players, the players try to run from behind in the half field or act as pass receivers and flankers in the back area. The outside player has the option to dribble, cross or pass the ball further. - Passes down to the strikers cause the defense chain to move forward. Moving the ball forward forces the defense chain to move forward to the side. As a result, the attacking team is given rooms in depth, as well as the opportunity to pass through a diagonal ball on the vacated side. - The pass players in the back area must not run too close to the team in front and should always keep a distance of 20-25 meters from the attackers so that they have the game happening permanently in front of them and can 'run' into the balls. - 4 small field goal (s), 3 cones
