3v2 attack

CoachTruly

Description: The 3v2 situation starts with a build-up from the goalkeeper to an opponent player (can also be to a wide player). The purpose is to score a goal. If the defending team wins the ball, they try to score in two smaller goals. Keep the same defenders for multiple rounds for repetition purposes and then switch roles.
Coaching key points: Movement off the ball: Players must provide passing options and stretch the defensive line. Reaction to losing possession: If attacking players lose the ball, they must press immediately.
Progression: How can you move without the ball to create space for yourself or your teammates? How should defenders position themselves to make the attackers' progression more difficult?
