8 vs 10

- The focus of this form of play is on the one hand on learning the routes of the four-defense and middle field chain with the follow-up actions 'quick switch from defense to attack' and ball control after winning the ball. On the other hand, the attacking team learns how to play out surplus situations, with the focus on immediately pressing after losing the ball. - The paths of the players in the chain of four are to the ball back and forth or to the left and right indent. Often players move inward as they move forward. However, there should be a deep staggering of the players. Thus, the player must continuously move sideways to the rear. In addition, the midfielders should always double the defenders. - The two defensive chains of four always act together and mustn´t be too far apart. - The goal for the defenders is to either get possession of the ball or to push the attacker who has the ball to the side into the goal-safe area and to block the pass route to the goal / opponent by double or indenting. The midfielder tries to double or to block the pass. - On the offensive, permanent movement and a fast, precise passing game are required. According to the 4-4-2 formation, the players have to be staggered in depth and consequently moving on a line must be avoided (depth staggering means the creation of play 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 by the outside lane players, the players try to run from behind in the half-field or act as pass recipients and flankers in the back area. The outside player has the option to dribble, cross or pass the ball on. - Passes in depth (on the strikers) make the defense chain move forward. Moving the ball to the outside forces the defense chain to move forward to the side. The result is that the attacking team is given rooms in depth, as well as the opportunity to pass through a diagonal ball on the vacated side. - The two midfielders are intended to serve as a starting point for the central defenders, outside players and strikers and through their paths they form permanent triangles and thus play options. If the center is open you can bridge it with a quick dribble towards the goal. If the four-defense chain has moved too far or has large gaps between them, play the pass down. - The pass players in the back area shouldn´t 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. - The players in the chain of four have the option to shift the game through a diagonal ball. - 4 small field goal (s), 6 cones
