Emergency defense
Configuration:
Half a field as shown, 3v2 a goal. Two small counter goals and many balls. Red offline.
Instructions:
The GK begins the attack sequence by hitting a precise goal seal to one of the two red players in the center of the field. The red player controls the long service and penetrates the space, while the other attacker does the same. The objective of the red team is to attack the goal at pace. Reds can be combined with their #9 or simply find other ways to support the two yellow defenders and write down. The yellow team can delete the game ball or score in one of the two small counter goals. Once the finishing sequence ends, five new players enter the field for the next essay. The two yellow defenders and red #9 cannot cross the offside line until the red player in the midfield has touched the ball. Variations include adding a recovery defender that makes it a 3V3 or raising the out of the field.
Training points:
Both defenders must organize their initial positions so that #9 does not have a clear path to the ball. They must decide whether to fall or retain while the red player penetrates into the goal. One of the defenders must go with the corridor and one must decide when and where to confront the ball. In a number of numbers, can they delay the attack, absorb pressure, conceive a tactical foul, stay compact and play to play outside the goal.
