Coach will play the ball into Red defenders and they will play 10 vs 8 Soon as Blue team win the ball, they go on the counter attack and score a goal. Reds don`t rush the attack, keep passing the ball between each other and look for that crucial chance.Make blues run around and chase the ball. Also try to attack through inside as much as they can and try to look for a striker. Blues if they win the ball, they will attack through 1&2.(Practice 4-4-2 and 4-2-4) Greys will be passing the ball to each other while reds and blues do their session, as session goes on they will do it near the blue defensive line to make it harder. Progression - Now greys will try to do it between the blue midfielders and defenders and when the attack of blues finish, now greys will attack against the 4 blue defenders so they have to be concentrated at all times.
