- 4 mini-goals
- Divide the players into two teams: Team 1 with 8 players and team 2 with 4 players

Procedure
- The two teams play against each other in an 8v4
- Goal of Team Red: Maintain possession and play through the opposition from end line to end line (within the field)
- Goal of Team Blue: Apply systematic pressure to provoke turnovers and counter fast after winning the ball. If Blue wins the ball, they can counter on the four mini-goals.

Tip
Coaching Points:
• Use full length and width of the field (Team Red)
• Red (3-2-3): Communicate with the two central players ("turn", "back", "left shoulder")
• Try to play with two touches (max. 3 touches)
• Play out of pressure
• Movement off the ball: Create passing angles by constantly moving in the opponent's shadow
