Four-defense chain game opening -version 11

At the level of the penalty area, 4 defenders are positioned next to each other at a distance of 12-17 m. On the left outline is the LAF, then the right the LIV, then the RIV and on the right side the RAV. At the level of the center line, 4 midfielders are compared as follows: opposite to the LAF the LAM, opposite to the LIV the HLM, opposite to the RIV the HRM and opposite to the RAV the RAM. The players face each other. To get a feeling for the different positions, the two central defender positions can alternatively be taken by the goalkeepers and the two half positions in the middle by the two strikers. The following player positions are available in the game system: TH - goalkeeper LAV - left full-back LIV - left central defender RIV - right central defender RAV - right full-back LAM - left outer midfielder HLM - half left midfielder HRM - half right midfielder RAM - right outer midfielder LST RST - left - right striker

The opening of the game with a focus on game shifting through several short diagonal passes followed by a long cross pass is rehearsed. The left full-back starts the game. A direct passing game (one contact) is practiced. The following pass sequence takes place: 1 - LAV plays diagonally to HLM 2 - HLM plays diagonally to RIV 3 - RIV plays diagonally to RAM 4 - RAM plays across the entire field half to LAM 5 - LAM plays longline to LAV. This pass variant can be trained as an endless loop. However, the side of the starting player should always be switched. That means start the pass sequence via the RAV. In this case, the LIV and HRM are included. Alternative: - Depending on the level of performance, the passing game can also take place with two contacts. The ball is accepted with the first contact and continued with the second.
