A goal is set up on the top end of the field, with a goalkeeper inside. 8 field players are positioned on the field as shown in the diagram. The strikers stand approximately 10 metres apart and the two wing pairs (A/E and D/H) approximately 10-15 metres apart.
Procedure
The first 4 passes of this attack pattern are always the same: Player D plays a short pass to C (1), who passes the ball directly on to H (2). Player H lets the ball bounce to D (3), who now passes the ball to right striker J (4). The following passing sequences/options are freely selectable for the players. Depending on the choice, different passing sequences/attacking situations arise: 5a) he lets it bounce to C 5b) he plays into the run of H 5c) he plays to the right to D If player C receives the ball, he has three more options: 6a) he plays into the channel for I 6b) he plays into the channel for J 6c) he plays to the right to D 6d) he plays to the left to E If player E receives the ball, he dribbles diagonally into the penalty area toward the goal and then has four more options: 7a) he plays into the channel for I or J 7b) he plays to the left to A, who crosses 7c) he shoots on goal himself 7d) he lets it bounce back to B, who shoots on goal. After passes 5c, 6c, and 7b, a cross into the penalty area follows. This means the two strikers I and J cross and occupy the positions at the near and far post; players C and B occupy the central back space; and one of the two wing pairs D/H and A/E occupies the lateral back space to finish crosses that go beyond the penalty area.
Tip
- Make sure the rehearsed movement patterns lead to a fast, fluid overall movement. - Constantly demand accuracy and tempo (slow execution will not lead to match-realistic success in the long run). - Players should learn (similar to a match) to observe and apply what they have observed. - Eyes should regularly be lifted from the ball (alternating gaze between ball and forward). - The diagonal balls should be played with the inside of the foot and require pace and precision. - Players C, E, and J have a variety of playing options. - This attack pattern greatly develops creativity. - When crossing, it is important that the players start moving after the second-to-last pass and explosively switch positions at sprint speed just before the crosser begins the crossing motion. - The crossing players or attackers must not start too early. - Depending on the passer's decision, the passing and running paths change for the other players. - 1 full-size goal(s)
