GAME PHASE
Timing Forward Runs
The ball is played into a 5v5 with the passing player (holding midfielder) then joining the attack at the same time as a recovering midfielder for the other team. On winning the ball encourage the defending team to play into one of the small goals or pass to the holding midfielder of the other team to quickly transition the drill to start again.
Coaching:
-Movements to create space for runs in behind
-Wide players keeping their width to allow space between the back 4
-Front 3 reading each others movements - if wide player comes in the central player must now provide width
Progression:
-Free play

MIDDLE ZONE
The number 9 is neutral helping the team in possession. 3 teams competing. The zone in the middle is where team in possession allowed for 2 or 3 passes, or few seconds before they transfer the ball to the opponents. If the defending team win the ball, they should pass back to number 9 who in turn passes who in turn passes back to them when they re organize to bacome in possession.

INTRODUCE
3 center backs is coming back to the game with giant teams applying this method of defending more. In the next drills we will demonstrate their defensive role while defending high up in the field. While defenders are high lined, the forwards have high chances to pass the ball behing defenders’ backs and exploit their speed to get their chance.
In this drill, we are trying to introduce to defenders this kind of danger. The poles in the middle create gates where forwards have to pass through. This will force defenders to cover these gates and try to block a pass. The 2 players at each end are the target players. They are allowed to move along the line to create a possible passing lane to their mates.
Forwards are allowed to move 2 to 3 steps beyond the offside line, the gates. This will create more pressure on defenders and recurrent situations where they will have to cover the gates, then run back to stop forwards from scoring their point. 2 forwards move up, 3 defenders go back. 1 to press the ball holder, one to mark the other forward, while the third move into the channel trying to block a pass to the target player.

ESERCIZIO PER ALLENARE I TEMPI DI
ESERCITAZIONE PER ALLENARE I TEMPI DI INSERIMENTO : In un Settore centrale al campo di gioco si svolge un esercizio che vede contrapposte due squadre (rossa e blu) con ogni squadra che schiera 3 elementi internamente al Settore e con gli altri 4 elementi posizionati come nel video : i 4 giocatori blu sono posizionati come sponde esterne ognuna su ogni lato del Settore mentre i 4 giocatori rossi sono posizionati su ogni angolo del Settore sempre come sponde esterne.
La regola comune ad entrambe le squadre prevede che ad ogni passaggio su una sponda esterna si esegue il cambio di giocatore (chi dà la palla esce a fare la sponda e chi la riceve entra nel Settore palla al piede e la rigioca).
Le due squadre hanno obiettivi diversi : la squadra blu dovrà uscire dal Settore dopo un numero di passaggi prestabiliti e con una combinazione che deve prevedere la ricerca del terzo uomo (con primo appoggio sulla sponda esterna che funge da vertice) ; in caso di combinazione riuscita si attiverà una situazione di 3vs2 in favore dei blu che prevede come difendenti le sponde rosse poste nell’angolo, mentre come attaccanti la sponda blu e due elementi che fuoriescono dal Settore (uno è l’autore del passaggio di appoggio sulla sponda). La squadra blu dovrà concludere a rete entro 10 secondi.
La squadra rossa invece, senza alcuna limitazione di passaggi, dovrà servire una delle due sponde poste nell’angolo con un passaggio che deve avvenire in una delle due porticine evidenziate dai coni : in caso di combinazione riuscita si attiverà una situazione di 2vs1 in favore dei rossi che prevede come difendente la sponda blu posta sul lato del Settore e come attaccanti le sponde rosse poste negli angoli del Settore. La squadra rossa dovrà concludere a rete entro 10 secondi.
Cambiare i ruoli delle due squadre dopo il tempo stabilito.
Questo esercizio può essere ovviamente eseguito anche impiegando un numero superiore di giocatori, ed adeguando spazi e numero di porte al numero di elementi.

MINI GAME 1
This drill could be a mini form of a real game situation. It starts with a build up, posses the ball, transfer the play to the other side and forward, finish, then transition. The zone in the middle in this drill could be taken advantage of for multiple reasons. For example, only one player each team allowed in, the player in possession will have to make the cruyff turn, the defender doing the marking, or the player in possession is obliged to have the ball kept for some seconds while the defender in his back, and so on.
