Pass and go, one-two passing - these are different names for what are essentially the same thing - a positive and fluid style of passing football.
To get your players working for one another, using this exciting style of attacking football this session introduces players to the overlap, and more importantly, gets them to incorporate it into their game!
What is the overlap? - Let's take an example of a left back and the left winger:
The keeper rolls the ball out to the left back who turns and plays the ball up into the midfield.
The defender then follows their pass and runs around the winger, to create the extra man, offering a passing outlet - the winger now has two options, they can take on their marker themselves or they can play the ball to the overlapping defender!
Use this session to teach your players how to become a nightmare for defenders with overlapping runs.

Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider.

If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
