@cupellosoccercoaching Mid to Low Block by Jose Mourinho ⚽️📈 The principles in Roma’s mid-to-low block under Jose Mourinho are pretty simple; deny the opposition space in the centre, force them wide, and win the ball on the wings. To recreate that in a session set up four zones 6 yards wide. Begin the practice with all players locked to zones to show how without pressing players must move to block passing routes by clever positioning. It is much harder to block when there is no pressing player. Now let one player press in the end zone making a 4v1 overload. This is the trigger for the other players to move into areas to block any passes as the players get pressed. The angle of the pressing players movement and body position gives cues to the team mates on where the ball will be going an where to block the passes. Now we allow two players to press in the end zone and also one player to go back to the middle zone to block passes into that zone – here the two blues press in the end zone and another blue goes back into the yellow midfield zone.

@cupellosoccercoaching Mid to Low Block by Jose Mourinho To set up a training session aimed at improving players' blocking skills, create four 6-yard-wide zones. Initially, have all players remain locked in their respective zones to demonstrate how players can block passing routes through strategic positioning without pressing. However, without a pressing player, this becomes more challenging. Next, introduce one player to press in the end zone, creating a 4v1 overload. This serves as a signal for the remaining players to move into positions to block any passes as the player gets pressed. The pressing player's movements and body language provide cues to their teammates about where the ball is likely to go and where they should block the passes. As the practice progresses, allow two players to press in the end zone and assign one player to block passes into the middle zone. For instance, two blue players can press in the end zone while another blue player moves back into the yellow midfield zone to block passes into that area. https://my.cupello.com/coaching/drills/pressing-triggers-midfield #controldrills #midfielder #midfielderdrills #passingdrills #soccerdrills #rondo #footballdrills #soccerdrillsforkids #soccerlife #footballcoach #footballcoach #footballacademy #skills #socceracademy #roma #chelsea #manchesterunited #soccer #football #footballer ♬ original sound - Cupello
