Corner staggering defensive corner from the left side

  • Training Set Main point

Setup

Training exercise without an opponent. The defending blue team players are placed on the field according to their position in the 4-4-2 system, based on zone defense at standarts. The positions can be filled twice. The right full-back D covers the zone on the short post. The other players in the chain of four and the right midfielder form a chain of four (A + B + C + H) approximately at the height of the 5-meter space. The two semi-central midfielders (G + F) are positioned in front of them, in the semi-central area between 5 meters and the penalty area. The left outer midfielder E, seen from its original position, moves in and occupies the central area at the level of the penalty area. The two strikers I and J stand in front of the penalty area in such a way that J covers the back area and is also available as a play area for a counterattack. I stands further forward in the direction of the center line and primarily serves J as a play station, or is supposed to achieve liberation strikes or counter-launching flying balls. Variant: The exercise can also be carried out so that the players start from their positions in 4-4-2 and take the corner positions. This should only happen in step 2 after the players have gained a feeling for their respective positions on the corner. Player / position legend: TW = goalkeeper A = left full-back B = left central defender C = right central defender D = right full-back E = left outer midfielder F = half-left midfielder G = half-right midfielder H = right outer midfielder I = left striker J = right striker

Procedure
