Training exercise without an opponent. The players of the defending blue team are placed on the field according to their position in the 4-4-2 system, based on the zone defense with standards / throws. The positions can be filled twice. An injector is placed on the left side line, approximately at the level of the penalty area. The four players in the chain of four (A-D) stand in line at the height of the 5-meter space. In front of it, centrally aligned, are the two semi-central midfielders F and G and the right outer midfielder H. The left outer midfielder E stands centrally at the level of the penalty area. Together with the four defenders and the three midfielders in front, the arrangement resembles the shape of a pyramid. The right striker J is in the back, I is positioned further forward and a little more centrally. Variant: The exercise can also be carried out so that the players start from their positions in 4-4-2 and take the throw-in positions from them. However, this should only happen in step 2 after the players have gained a feeling for their respective positions during the throw-in. 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
