Strong on the ball in a one-on-one duel
Execution
The exercise consists of three different roles: attacker, defender, and teammate. Each role has specific tasks that contribute to the aim of the exercise.
Role: Attacker - Duel Player
Receive the ball from the teammate with a defender directly at your back.
Try to win the duel by:
Dribbling the ball through the small goal made of cones, which is positioned in the centre of the field.
Passing the ball to your teammate, which is only possible after a few seconds.
The aim is to outplay the defender and utilise one of these opportunities.
Role: Defender
Start directly at the back of the attacker and try to take the ball away.
Keep the centre and the ball-goal line well covered, just like in a match.
Results as a defender:
Best result: you win the ball or the attacker commits a foul.
Second possibility: the attacker passes the ball to the teammate, which is acceptable.
Worst result: the attacker gets past you and through the small goal made of cones.
Role: Teammate
Start with the ball and pass it to the attacker.
Begin running immediately after the pass, around the outside of the cones.
Once you are past the last cone, the ball can be played to you.
