- Pressing & Regaining possession
A small-sided game that trains speed of play, combination play, counter-pressing and game-specific endurance. Mark an octagonal area of about 25×25 metres. On opposite baselines there are two regular goals with goalkeepers and two small goals. Two teams of four play in the middle, and two jokers outside the area help the team in possession keep the ball together with the goalkeepers. The defending team tries to win the ball and score. The teams swap roles when the defending team scores. Change jokers after each round. Source: Pro-soccerdrills.com.
What the coach should look for
- Use the goalkeepers and jokers to keep the ball.
- Counter-press right after losing the ball.
- Quick ball movement, few touches.
- Change jokers after each round.
