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.
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.
In order to help the attack, the free players have to make decisions too in order to situate in the best position. This drill will demand a high concentration level from your players.
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.
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.
How many times do we listen the coach tell this player to do not repeat a pass when he has already done it? Is this useful to say it once the player has already committed the mistake? Would not be better to implement a drill with an easy rule which creates a offensive habit and improves the player decision-making?
To learn how to defend with high pressure and, in the following play, to defend back in shape gives your team a lot of resources that you will need in different moments of the game
To make a right high pressure or a good game building, and practice it in a game oriented similar situation is very possible.
To defend in a coordinate way is key for the defensive success. With only a few simple references you will achieve right habits in your players such as defensive balance, a right distance between lines or the coordination to move forward or backwards.
Another offensive tactical drill to improve the position game (Guardiola, Sarri…). To play the ball facing the player who is about to receive it will allow the receiver to think before getting the ball and to speed the play up.
