Individual defending team game. Blues start play and dribble to just outside the D and hit a passive shot into the keepers hands (not trying to score). From there the keeper plays out to yellow and yellow attacks the goal with the blue player trying to defend. As soon as that play concludes (OB, defender wins ball, goal, or keeper saves and controls the ball), another ball is played out to green who then attacks the same blue player. Once both sides have completed next set goes. After all players go they switch lines, yellow goes to blue, blue goes to green and green goes to yellow. Once all teams have completed each line tally up the score.

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.

The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
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.
