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.
Multi-Offensive Work
A very complete tactical drill both at an offensive and defensive level. The players have to make a lot of decisions in a very limited time.
Conditioned Game: Min. 87 1-0
The ideal player is the one who manages either the offensive and defensive tactical situations. The direct attack looking for the second ball Is one of the parts of the game that the coaches need to know how to manage despite it might not be his most preferred part. As coaches, our objective has to be fo our players to learn as much as possible, not just only about what we like.
Extreme Transitions 3v3
To practice transitions in superiority will make your players look for safe finishing situations thoughtlessly and will make them think about the defensive transition. This is a drill that you as a coach will like a lot, a very useful drill.
Rondo Third Man
A rondo with a small numerical superiority which will make our players play with the third man. Every time this third man situation is done, it will generate an advantage in the drill which will reinforce the learning of this concept.
Hexagonal rondo to work the switch of play, the players profiles and deciding before receiving the ball.
One of the constant aspects of the game is to play easy (the coach asks so many times for this) and be able to differentiate when to play with the farthest or with the intermediate players in order to overcome rivals (both attacking and defending).
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.
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.
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.
