4 Goals: Engage rivals + Pressure after losing possession
It is really difficult to achieve an advantage when finishing a play. We will increase a little bit the difficulty in this game so your players, when competing, are able to find the advantage to finish the play easily.
Small Sided Games Pressing the ball the holder
Small sided tactical game in which, in order to score you will first have to create a favorable situation at the same time that, the defenders will have to do defensive presence on the defender.
Small Sided Game Pressure after losing possession
Small sided tactical game in which we will give an extra value to two key momentums of the game: When we lose the ball and when we win it back. The transition level of our players will hugely increase.
Speed of play + getting the ball away of recovery zone
At the beginning of the offensive transitions, just after getting the ball back, we should play quick and simple in order to bring the ball to the empty spaces. In this drill we will be faced to different situations similar to game situations.
In depth passes: creating and defending it
To coordinate the check away moment with the through ball pass is one of the most difficult offensive aspects to achieve. In this drill, your players will be able to practice it a lot of times in a reduced space.
Defense in middle block for interior passes
To defend the central lane is key, and, to orientate the rival so he can just play at the side generates an advantage in order to get the ball back.
Ball Circulation and changing the pace
You will make your player achieve a higher tactical intelligence level by making him decide whether to progress with the ball or retain the ball looking for a better option to progress.
Conditioned Game: Defending in middle block
For a slow defender, the body orientation when facing a through ball is key in order to beat a faster forward. Your player’s mental quickness when making the right decision about the body shape will them improve against the through balls.
Offensive Stretching and Mixed Marking
To bring the ball from one side to other and then cross it, it is an offensive tactical objective. In this drill, with the double of box as the dimensions, we will make our team practice a lot of crossings which will allow them to improve both defense and attack.
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.
