Setup
- 1 goal
- Cones to set a dribbling line at 2/3 of the pitch
- Divide into teams of 10 vs 6 up to 10
Procedure
- Game opening by the goalkeeper through one of the center-backs
- The Red team starts pressing approximately 25m in front of the goal
- The game is played freely. Green must cross the dribbling line. Red can counter-attack the goal. In a numerical disadvantage, the outnumbered team tries to disrupt the build-up play and counter. Guidelines:
- Full-backs: create width (position wide in front of the penalty area/penalty area edges)
- Center-backs: create height (stand high)
- Central midfielders: form triangles (create passing options)
- Forwards and wingers: create depth
Tip
Coaching Points
