Mark Ludwigs game – 3 v 2 transition
One goal on goalline and one at midfield with keepers. Set defenders clearing goal at midway point on either side. This is so if the defenders win the ball they have somewhere to play the ball.
Mark does not divide them into teams. He puts groups behind each goal plus the strikers to the right and left of the halfway mark on the sideline.
Start with distribution from a keeper to the first group of 2 coming out from either goal. There should be 2 defending the other goal. The attackers should use one striker from their right side who comes into play. Now we have 3 vs 2 attacking to get a shot quickly.
If no shot then the attackers drop off and do 5/5/5 as punishment. If shot on goal then attackers drop off with no punishment. Keeper immediately serves a ball to defenders and a new attacker from their right comes on field and 2 new defenders come on to oppose them at opposite goal.
CP’s - No north and south runs – weave at a minimum – communicate.
Work for a 2 v1 against the defenders. This is usually done with overlaps or diagonal runs in behind. Try to isolate the one defender.
We primarily will be working for the attacker coming on the field to ck to ball and play back in. Everyone working to get ahead of the ball.

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. Here is how the modern set-piece specialists design attacking corners, free kicks, and throw-ins - and how you can apply their ideas at any level.
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.
