From Pressure to Goal

From Pressure to Goal
© CoachTruly.com
Description
The drill consists of a goalkeeper, two defenders, two attackers, and a player who passes to the attackers. 1. The drill starts with the blue player's pass to the attacking player (black). When the pass is made, the defender who is further from the goal starts pressing from behind. 2. The attackers' task is to bypass the centrally defending player, avoid the incoming pressure from behind, and score a goal.
Quality factors
Attackers: Quick decisions, space utilization, and cooperation under pressure. Defenders: Central defending and timing of pressure from behind.
Key questions
Attackers: When should you advance alone and when should you play together with the other attacker? How can you help your teammate with the ball through your positioning? Defenders: How can you prevent direct advancing routes toward the goal with your positioning? When is it better to slow down the attackers and when should you attempt active tackling?
