Hi everyone!
Today I want to share an exercise that I particularly enjoy and often use when we face teams that play direct football and force you to “activate” after winning the second ball. As you can see, it’s a very simple exercise that starts with a long goal kick from the goalkeeper into a pre-defined space, where two teams (4 vs 4) will compete for possession after winning the second ball.
The team that wins the ball must complete 5-6 passes before being able to attack. To do this, they have to move the ball out of that space through one of the “joker” players of the same color positioned on the sides, so that this player can then connect with the furthest teammate, creating a 3 vs 3 attacking situation.
Hope you enjoy it!
