2v1+goalkeeper

CoachTruly

Description: The drill begins with the coach playing a through ball to the player in the middle line, who must finish with one touch. After the shot, the player from the middle line moves to defend against a 2v1 attack. The attackers are positioned at the outermost cones and receive the ball from the coach with a pass. If the defender wins the ball, they try to score in the goals located on the sides.
Coaching key points: Situation recognition: Attackers must read the defender's positioning and quickly decide whether to play a wall pass, dribble, or pass to create a scoring opportunity. Correct positioning: The defender should aim to position themselves in a way that forces the attackers toward a more difficult solution.
Progression: How do you position yourself to make the attackers' decision more difficult? When is it better to pass and when to shoot yourself? How can you use off-the-ball movement to your advantage?
