-
Off ball movements to create space [make the area big as possible to maximise this]
-
Encourage quick passes and switches of
play to evade defenders
-
Passing detail [weight and accuracy]
-
Can the opposing team create opportunities
to intercept by blocking passing lines?
-
If defenders win the ball, can they get the ball
back to their gk?
-
No reason why the gk cannot start the
practice in the main square with the defending team.

Introduce two defenders at a time
-
Match realism, introduce a gk area
-
No press on the gk for the first 10 mins then
a press after this.
