Player 1 passes the ball to player 2, who plays a 2v1 with player 3 through the channel. Once through, the attack becomes a 4v2 to try and score a goal. The defender in the channel stays and waits for the next attack.

COACHING POINTS

Players must recognise overload situations. Stop and ask your players how best to create an overload in the different situations featured.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Left wing attack:

The LM starts with the ball. His/her compulsory pass is to the LW. As soon as the ball is played, the 3 players with the ball have to try and score a goal. The defenders start in the circle but can only defend outside the circle.(Tip is that one of the 3 players with the ball always takes a position between the two defenders).

Overload situations

Progression for getting the ball out of a corner:

The Left wing(LW) receives ball from Left midfield (LM) and takes the ball into the zone where the right defender(RD) can try and win the ball. Just before the LW loses the ball he/she turns away from the RD and passes the ball to LM. It is important that LM stays outside the zone and straight behind the LW. When the LM receives the ball he/she has to try and get the ball to Right midfield(RM) either direct or via the Center midfield (CM) depending what The defending midfielder (DM) is doing. The DM is restricted to the coned area and therefore can only intercept when LM runs with the ball into that area.
Pass and follow sequence LM-LW-CM-RM-LM (RD + RMD should be switched every so often).

Overload situations

3v2:

Coach feeds the ball to MM who plays the ball to RD or LD. These in turn play the ball in to the forwards on their side and play 3v2, (defenders have to play man to man marking for the first pass).

Progression - introduce sweeper into the defence and let the MM join in the game after his pass, making it 4v3.

Overload situations

Overlap to get in behind:

Only defender is allowed to leave the square and the other one has to stay in their grid and can only be leave if the other defender has returned inside their grid.

The attackers have to keep possession and try to create an overlap to get a player behind the defender.

Once the players have achieved this the other winger can come into the circle and receive the ball to try and score.
