Before we go into playing box, 4 vs 4, there will be a game where it will be continuing working on technic and ball control. It will also be focus on keeping the ball under pressure, but most importantly it will be worked on the transition part, which is a goal for the session to improve the players in this.The game will be played inside the 16 meter box. Two mini-goals will be placed in the middle of the box facing opposite directions. Eight of the players will have one ball each that they are going to keep. Two players will start as defenders without a ball. Their job is to win the ball from one of the players and pass the ball into one of the mini-goals. If an attacker loose his ball he can win it back before the defenders manage to pass the ball into the goal. The defender can run with the ball to create a better angle to score. If the defender manages to score, the attacker who lost the ball is also a defender. The aim for the attackers will be to be the "last man standing". Technical: Running with the ball at high tempo. Ball control, using appropriate parts of feet to make it hard for the defenders to win the ball and pass it into goal. In defense: Winning the ball back with an opportunity to score (not just tackling the ball out of the field).Tactical: Orientation - where to run, recognizing safe zones. Defenders: Working together to win the ball from one of the attackers.Physical: Endurance, agility, speed, strength (holding defender away from the ball shielding the ball).Note: Often defenders are defending (tackling etc) without a plan of what to do with the ball when they win the ball. This game will make the players understand "defending (tackling/ winning the ball) with a goal". The defenders will then work on the transition from defending to attack, while the attackers will be working on the transition from attacking to defending(winning the ball back before the attackers pass the ball into one of the goals).
