3-1-2 vs. 3-1-2 in 1G and 3g. F7

Distributed as in the diagram, 2 teams of 8 players play a match in which both play with a line of 4 in defense and a 4-man diamond in midfield. One team attacks a large goal in the centre and the other 3 small goals on the goal line, 2 on the wings and one in the middle. The team defending the 3 goals swings from side to side of the pitch to prevent central linear progression in the creative zone and in the finishing zone attacks a goal defended by a goalkeeper , so its attacks will be more direct and its defenses less right-sided-And more pendulum-like. The team defending the large goal meanwhile executes a more right-sided-Defense in the finishing zone , with closer marking to prevent finishing , and will attack more indirectly to progress down the wings or the central line in the creative zone via changes of direction, slowing down the play,…

Following the spatial distribution shown in the diagram, 2 teams of 6 players play a match with the objective of one team playing in defensive zone with a goalkeeper , one line of 4 and 2 pivots and another team that plays in attacking zone with 3 forwards and a diamond (the centre midfielder will be one joker who exchanges functions of pivot with green team, and of forward with the yellows). The team defending simulates the defensive zone of 4-2-3-1, with its 2 lines deeper and its objective is to neutralise the opposing team (which simulates the 2 more advanced lines of a 3-4-3) and when it recovers the ball it will try to advance combining with the joker (blue), and thus score a point. The attackers meanwhile must try to finish the attack via a more elaborate (indirect) attack ,by controlling play , moving the opponent and seeking space to enter the finishing zone and go for goal, For this they are helped by the joker, who when they have he ball plays as central midfielder.

2-3-1 vs. 2-3-1, 1G-3g. Z

Distributed as in the diagram, a match between 2 teams of 7 players in which both teams base their play on a 1-4-2-3-1. One team plays in defensive zone with a goalkeeper, a line of 4 , 2 defensive midfielders and an attacking midfielder, and the other team plays in offensive zone with a centre back, 2 defensive midfielders, 3 attacking midfielders and a striker. The defending team simulates the defensive zone of the 4-2-3-1, with its two lines further back and its objective will be to neutralize the opposing team and when the ball is recovered its attempts to progress to the creation line scoring a goal in any of the 3 goals, thus scoring a point. The strikers meanwhile must attempt to finish the attack by means of a more elaborate (indirect) attack, by controlling play, moving the opposition and seeking space in order to enter the finishing zone and attempt to score. Thus we observe the pros and cons, in attack and in defence, in the same system, which enables us to analyze via attack our defensive shortcomings and vice versa.

Following the spatial distribution shown in the diagram, 2 teams of 7 players participate in a drill with an imaginary line. One team plays 4-3 corresponding to one attacking line of 4 and 3 midfielders (1 central midfielder and 2 inside players ), while the other team plays a 4-3 corresponding to a middle line of 4 in diamond formation and 3 forwards (2 wings and one centre forward ). the more defensive team falls back in defence to counter attack simulating progression to the half-way line. Meanwhile the more offensive team executes a n intensive pressing and seeks more indirect attacks, by slowing play down in attack to create spaces for players and 1x1 situations on the wing.

Following the spatial distribution shown in the diagram, 2 teams of 11 play a match with the objective of both teams playing a 1-4-3-3. Emphasis on defence, for which one team must fall back intensively (line 10m from the area), so they have to defend the 1x1 which seek the 4 goals behind each defender (when they are overrun the player passed follows the attacker and the nearby cover closes him down, seeking a 2x1 defensively) and the other team is forced to fall back (line 10m. behind half-way line), where they must stop passes between the goals (spaces between defenders),if they are overrun, the player passed stops marking and heads towards goal, it is the nearby cover that challenges the adversary. This same task can be executed with only 3 midfielders (who attack and defend on both sides) and 3 attackers per team (with 3 for both teams it is very intense for these 3).

Following the spatial distribution shown in the diagram, a game is played between 2 teams of 8 and 9 players . The team we work with will perform defensive duties with one line of 4 at the back and a diamond in the middle. Their objective will be to close all the passing lanes between defenders and the middle diamond , for this they will seek to tighten lines, close spaces, move from side to side,… If they are overrun in any of the zones (intermediate goals), the opposing team can try to finish, not before. When they steal the ball they will try to progress between zones in less than 5 passes, after which, successful or not, they pass the ball to the attackers. The attackers will play as they choose (in this case one line of 3 back, a double pivot, 3 attacking midfielders and one centre forwards, simulating a 1-4-2-3-1).Both teams are very intensive for these 3).
