Goal:
Improve switching moment by putting direct pressure on the ball

content:
  • we start 1 vs 1
  • 1 defender against 1 attacker
  • the attacker tries to score in the small goalmouth, and immediately switches to the other side and becomes a defender

Coaching:
  • Direct switching
  • direct pressure on the ball
  • no corners in your run
  • apply full pressure for 3 seconds
drawing A duel in which quick switching from offense to defense is crucial.
Game principle.
  • Switching gears as quickly as possible is the focus of this exercise.
  • As a coach you can of course always choose where you put the emphasis in this exercise: switching to ball possession or switching after ball loss.

The exercise form
  • The red side plays in the red square a positional game 7 vs 5.
  • When yellow captures the ball, the player of the yellow side plays a fellow player in the yellow square.
  • The 5 yellow players from the red square plus 5 random red players move to the yellow square.
  • Switching, in other words. In the yellow square the positional play then continues 7 against 5, until red captures the ball and plays it back to the red square.
  • Then the players switch back to the red square.

Coaching
Apart from whether the positional play goes well, the main issue is of course the switching. Therefore:

  • Switchover to ball possession: is the game actually moved to the other square as soon as possible?
  • Switchover after ball loss: can the pass to the other square still be prevented? By putting immediate pressure on the ball
  • Switching after ball loss: if the game cannot be prevented, do 2 players switch to the other square a.s.a.p.?
