Description

Supporting players (level 4):

  • Anticipate your opponent's first contact with the ball and react with a suitable connection movement.
    <-->
  • Identify early on where pressure is going to arise and take advantage of the opportunity to get into a pass line ahead of your opponent.

Tactic (level 4):

Offensive:

  • Outnumber or make targeted use of qualitative advantages.
  • Use the space in the center of the enemy formation. Players in possession of the ball and those who receive it should be in advantageous positions.

Defensive:

  • Prevent overpaying situations and individual advantages from the opponent.
  • By playing well, we make it difficult for the opponent to play in the center or break through our formation.

Expiration:
4-on-4 game on a smaller field with two goals. The center line may exclusively through a passing game be crossed.
Changes are made either at the coaching whistle or freely — depending on the training goal. The number of players and field size can be adjusted to change the pace or complexity of the game.

Coaching ACCENTS

Objective:
Try to free yourself from tight spaces — actively accept the ball in open space with the first contact. <--> Flexibly adjust the intensity and direction of your pressing.
