Phase Coach a Back 4 to Operate as a Defending Unit

Organisation

Balls by the target, goal and winger.

Bibs = 4-4-Target v 2-4-2

Need to put full backs for both sides because we need right and left delivery from full backs.

Cones should be just behind the centre circle and divided into three target area with a server in the middle one.

Target plalyer passes to either full back.

Rules and conditions

  • Look to overload down the sides
  • Defenders hit the target man when you win possession

 

Objectives

  • Support behind the ball and defend the channel
  • Work on back four and the goalkeeper. Look at distances and relationships. Stop balls into feet.
  • Defenders and Keeper allow no space behind.Specify full backs roll. Read pass, intercept, spoil or drive back.
  • Support players wide midfield.
  • Work on midfield similar to back fours shape. Screen and slide and stop balls into front players feet. Support pressurising player.
  • Secure possession. Can you develop attacks not just spoil and switch off. Look to counter-attack.

Key Points

  • Start position. Recovery (where), set (how), depth.
  • Man mark or zonal defend. I wide areas mark channel side to force them inside and to prevent crosses.
  • Assess flight.Challenge- how, height, distance and width.
  • Second balls- can they spin back in expect the worse
  • Compactness and counter attack.
  • Everyone concentrate we don't want to leave anyone in.
