Offensive transition with the free man.
When we win the ball back when defending a team which presses us after losing the ball, we will need to connect with the free man playing behind the rivals’ back.
Tricolor
During the offensive transition, your team will will need to begin looking for width, permanent support from the players, a good communication etc. This offensive and defensive transition tactical drill will make your team improve this exact momentum of the game.
Double Box: Fast Transitions
To be fast but not rushing! This is a provocation rule which will improve the decision making in order to adapt the pace and the game speed.
Direct Attack: Final Minutes
Maybe your team just uses the direct style of play occasionally (e.g when losing in the last minutes of a game), but it is more than likely that your team will face teams that use it during most of the minutes. To practice it in the same proportion as it is played in your competition is both correct and necessary.
Defensive Line and Midfield
The fact of facing offensive freedom (continuous decision making) to two defensive lines will develop multiple defensive tactical concepts
Zonal Defense: Move forward or backwards
In every movement of the ball we do, the defensive situation changes. Did the ball go forward or backwards? Is the player on the ball pressed? Does he have options to pass the ball to a free player? These are some of the several decisions that we have to practice.
Third man and free man rondo
We adapt a rondo in order to practice the use of the third man and the free man as a microstructure to advance in the game.
Small Sided Game Passing Lanes
Small sided tactical game to practice the concept of “passing lines”, both the creation of them and to defend them, including a bit of pressing work in order to improve the precision when finishing.
Counterattack Vs Dropping Back
There are defensive and offensive concepts which will be easy to practice in whole. A simple provoking rule will help your team practice these two concepts.
Transitions with support from forwards players
To start the attack playing wide and to identify when a good moment is to play inside. To make a run in order to lose the markers in the right moment is key to finally get the ball or not.
