Trainin the 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. Left full back A covers the zone on the short post. The remaining players in the chain of four and the right midfielder form a chain of four (B + C + D + 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 moves in from its original position and occupies the central area at the level of the penalty area. The two strikers I and J are so staggered in front of the penalty area that I covers the back area and is also available as a play area for a counterattack. J stands further forward in the direction of the center line and primarily serves I as a play area, or is intended 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
The player arrangement is trained using the example of a corner kick from the right side into the penalty area. The red corner shooter plays the ball into the box. The defense team tries to clear the ball.
