Movement patterns, handling and guard with defensive expansion
Execution
- The ball starts with red. White runs towards the ball. Red passes the ball to white and takes a few steps wide to the outside.
- White passes the ball back to red. Red passes the ball to blue.
- The second red (midfield player) moves inside while the second white (forward) moves outside.
- Blue passes deep along the line to the forward who has come to offer support there.
- The forward receives the ball and drives towards the goal.
- The midfield player comes in to guard the forward and receives the ball.
- The midfield player drives into the circle and shoots at the goal.
- Add two defenders (see red and white triangles).
- The red triangle applies pressure from behind on white and then takes the shortest route to the goal.
- The white triangle chooses whether to close off the line (pass 7) or to move inside with red.
- Blue must decide whether the pass can go along the line or needs to go inside.
- A 3 versus 2 situation arises with the two triangles against red (midfield player), white (pivot), and white (forward).
- If necessary, an additional defender can be placed at the edge of the circle.
- Optionally, an extra forward can be added from the other side (blue triangle).
- If the exercise can only be executed on one side at a time, an extra pass can be added before pass 1, for example, a cross-field pass from the other side of the playing field.
