Corner staggering defensive short right side

  • Training Set Main point

Setup

Training exercise without an opponent. The defending blue team players are ranked according to their position in the 4-4-2 system, based on zone defenses at the field. The positions can be filled twice. Two players are positioned on the right corner flag to execute the short corner variant. The left full-back A and the left outer midfielder E move towards the corner flag to prevent the short corner from being played. The other players in the chain of four defenses form a chain of three (B + C + D) at about 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 right outer midfielder H moves in from his 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

Procedure

The player arrangement is trained using the example of a short corner kick from the right side. The red corner shooter briefly passes the ball on his teammate. He puts the ball on the flank -> cross into the box. The two players A and E press the two executing players at the moment of the short execution, but remain passive. The rest of the blue team fends off the flank.
