Chain of four - securing left full-back after pass in depth through the interface

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Progression, Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players

Setup

The four blue defenders A, B, C and D line up in the basic formation of the back four. The ball is at player E.

Procedure

The player E plays a diagonal pass from the left side of the attack down through the interface between the right and left central defenders B and C. Now the left outer defender D closest to the ball must run the ball. If D has the ball under control, he takes his place again and the exercise starts again.

Tip

- This exercise is a dry exercise. There are no duels. It is mainly used to learn the route. - The exercise should be trained with as many repetitions as possible (automation of the movement sequences). - The focus is solely on the path of the left full-back. He should be made aware of the fact that in a comparable situation during the game, without a long reaction time, he should take this route because players B and C can only react with a time delay (because they still have to turn). - In the basic formation, the lateral distances between the players are 7–12 meters. - D starts as soon as the ball has been played by E and it is foreseeable that it will go through the interface. - 1 large field goal (s)
