Wing play with defender III

Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
Training Set Main point
Number of Players 10-15 players, 16-22+ players

Setup

A goal is set up on one end of the field with a goalkeeper. 9 field players are positioned as shown in the diagram. Two players go to each wing, spaced 10-15 metres apart. The two strikers take their positions 10 metres apart at the level of the penalty area line. A defender is positioned in the cone goal on the left side at the level of the penalty area. The remaining players line up in pairs behind players B and C. The balls are at the centre circle.

Procedure

The exercise begins with a pass from B to striker I coming short (1), who lets the ball bounce directly to C (2). C passes the ball diagonally to player A (3), who makes a short speed dribble (4) and passes the ball into the run of the overlapping player E (5). E tries to beat the defender in the marked cone goal at maximum speed (6) and then cross at full speed in front of goal (7). Player A positions himself in the left half-space. Simultaneously with player E's speed dribble, the four players B and C (central space behi d) and H and D (right space behi d) start toward goal. Just before E's cross, the two strikers I and J start toward goal. Their running paths cross at the level of the penalty area line. All players try to finish the cross. Afterward, the players return to their starting positions and the next pair moves up to replace B and C.

Tip

- The strikers cross toward the near and far post. - When crossing, it is important that the players explosively switch positions at sprint speed just before the crosser's backswing. - The crossing players / attackers must not start too early. - The crosser should deliver sharp, precise passes. - The defender should close down the path to goal. Stand offset to the side so the attacker must take the path away from goal. - The defender tries to pressure the attacker as early as possible so he cannot build up speed, and if possible positions his body with the shoulder forward between himself and the attacker. - The player expecting the pass makes a short counter-movement at the same time as the passer's backswing. - The pass should be played into the path of the player expecting the ball. - The passer must observe the run of the receiving player. - 2 cones, 1 full-size goal(s)
