This is a great game for getting players thinking about keeping possession of the ball – it is quite a difficult overload as it is 3v2 to start with and then works into 4v2 but also included goals to score in when the defending pair wins the ball.
Coaching Objectives
- Focus on the players’ positioning, movement and decision-making.
- Scan before receiving
- Be diagonal to the ball
- Pass into player's runs
- Receive on the back foot
- Be open to the play when receiving
- Vertical passes between the lines
Look to play passes to the correct side of our teammates to make the next pass easier.
It is important the defenders work together with one player pressing the ball and the other player covering the pass into the middle zone.
Pressing players should take the opportunity to score when the ball is in transition at speed to prevent the four players getting their focus back.
