#TACTICAL SOCCER COPNCEPTS SERIES#
We run a series of attacking patterns of play working in groups of four or five towards the one goal. We set up on half a pitch with a goal and a goalkeeper at one end and with 10 mannequins representing the opposition positioned in a 5-1-4 defensive shape as shown. Our players know that this will review all the non-negotiables and all the actions and all the patterns that we are looking to perform, therefore we are demanding that the players should be at their best and give their best possible performance. In terms of training, this is the moment in the week where we perform our style of play. We ask our players to delay the opposition to allow us to get as many players behind the ball as possible. Then in case the re-press is not successful, we will look to our team to immediately track back, set the defence, confront and delay the ball carrier as soon as possible and look to prevent the opposition getting into our box or create counter-attacking chances. If we are successful in the counter-press, we will look to perform the narrow pattern to go forward, using the farthest player as an attacking reference in order to penetrate into the box and finish the action quickly. In case we are not successful, we will look to immediately apply the counter-press to not allow our opponents to go forward or counter-attack. When my teams are successful, getting to the finishing points and then executing the actions is important. This training session has a lot of non-negotiables of my style of play – the ball possession, looking to play forwards, looking to create overloads, then using the overlaps and underlaps to get inside of the box. In that moment, we want our team to use the patterns of play that they have rehearsed to enter the penalty area and finish on goal. It’s about looking to move the ball from side-to-side to get midfielders and full backs on the ball and to create overloads and perform patterns of play when the opposition doesn’t adjust or are late to match our superiority.
This session is about having possession in the opposition’s half of the pitch.
