Soccer Exercise
Reinforced Defensive Line Against Equal Numbers (4 vs 2 against 4 vs 2)
- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Main point
- Number of Players 10-15 players
Setup
- 1 goal
- Split into 6 vs 6
Procedure
The reinforced defensive line shifts similarly to the shifting movements of a back four (or a back three) in space-oriented defending. They try to prevent deep balls (through balls) and create numerical superiority near the ball (then win the ball in 1 vs 2 situations).
The offensive players try to pass through the gaps in the defensive line or combine through the defensive ranks. Initially, only ground passes are allowed.
Tip
Coaching Points for the defense:
- The defender closest to the ball presses, the rest cover in a staggered formation
- In the center: a defensive triangle
- On the sides: a crescent shape
- As soon as the 6 is bypassed, turn to double up
- The goalkeeper also shifts in orientation to the ball
- Demand communication between the defenders
