4 Lanes: Ball Circulation Vs Shifting
To be good at shifting, coverages and closing spaces are the basics for a good defensive tactic. For being successful when attacking we will need to be good at a different variety of offensive tactic concepts.
Supports: Superiority/inferiority
Ball retention, body orientation (One of Guardiola’s biggest obsession) to receive the ball from the exterior neutral player who has advantage through the guided discovery learning method. The defensive anticipations will make the attackers be on the right body shape to retain the ball and switch the play.
Rondo with it sides divided in half. Unlimited touches
If our players, in an offensive situation, are capable of deciding whether to speed the game up or to delay it, it is one of the keys for a smart offensive football.
Defensive Line and Midfield
The fact of facing offensive freedom (continuous decision making) to two defensive lines will develop multiple defensive tactical concepts
Conditioned Game in reduced space: Generate Finishing Options
The tactical finishing is the coordination of the last technical (Pass, dribble, feint) and tactical (check in and away, offensive timing etc) actions. The only useful way for practicing them is in a real situation and, in this case, adding a provocation rule which will improve the decision-making of your team when finishing.
Play pressed and switch zone
To include the goalkeepers in the building drills is key for them to then do it comfortably during the games. In the drill, we will start building the game to then advance in the game overcoming the opposition high press. The defenders practice the high press and to close passing lines.
Zonal Defense Vs Overcoming Lines
The objective is to move from the creation zone to the finishing zone. To avoid that the rivals could send the ball to your defenders back.
Create and Defend Passing Lanes
To defend in a staggered way, is going to make your players not only practice coverages and defensive support but also, offensively, you are going to make your players go through passing lines. This is a big formative challenge that you will be able to achieve.
Blocking the Receiver and Defensive Transition
To get quickly to the player with the ball will help us winning the ball back easier. To do this, we will need to be good at defensive vigilances. We will practice them constantly in this drill.
Conditioned Game: Gives and Goes and changing pace
To play at a different pace depending on the zone of the field where we are at that moment, is a good way for making right decisions and read the game in a right way.
