Soccer Exercise
High Press on the Wing in 4 vs 4
- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Main point
- Number of Players 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players
Setup
Pitch: A line of cones marks off the pitch diagonally from the penalty area to the halfway line. At one end there is the full-size goal with a goalkeeper, at the opposite end two mini goals level with the halfway line.
Equipment: 1 goal, 2 mini goals, cones and 1 ball.
Players: Two teams of four players each in their own colour of bibs, plus one goalkeeper.
Procedure
- The drill starts with the goalkeeper, who passes or throws the ball to the right centre-back.
- This player passes the ball on to the left centre-back. This sequence is fixed; after that the game is free.
- Blue 1 presses the left centre-back on a curved run in order to prevent a pass back to the right centre-back. This pressing angle allows Blue 2 to move into the centre and create a 4 vs 3 overload.
- When the ball is won, a quick counter follows on the full-size goal with a finish. Yellow, for its part, plays towards the two mini goals.
Tip
- Demand mutual coaching — pressure, get in, cut off.
- Watch out for correct pressing angles: close down the passing lanes.
- Blue 3 has to push out onto the full-back in good time, without opening up the passing lane in behind.
- Whenever cover is in place, always go into the duel actively.
- Watch out for correct defensive behaviour on the wing.
