Soccer Exercise
Movement Patterns of the Right Outside Midfielder in a 4-4-2
- Training Set Progression, Main point
Setup
The player is positioned at his midfield pressing position on the field (1).
Procedure
This exercise presents the movement patterns of the right outside midfielder/right winger when the opponent has the ball and when his own team has the ball. Depending on the ball position when the opponent has possession, the player's run describes a diagonal straight line from his original position (1) through position 2 to a tucked-in defensive position (3). The opposite running direction 3 to 1 corresponds to the movement when transitioning from opponent's possession to own team's possession.
Tip
- This is a walkthrough exercise. No tackles take place. It primarily serves to learn the movement pattern. - The exercise should be trained with as many repetitions as possible (automating the movement sequence). - The focus is solely on the movement pattern of the right midfielder. He should be sensitised to make this run without much reaction time in a comparable situation during a match. - The individual positions (1-3) can also be marked with a cone. In this case, the player runs to each position on the coach's call or pass. - The run should always be completed at high speed.
