Defenders have to pass the ball out from defense zone to midfield zone. Strikers will pressure the ball if they can steal it they can shoot on the goal.
Progression:
1st: Strikers let the the defenders pass and move, when the coach whistles they can pressure the ball.
2nd: CM (after receiving the ball from the defense) has to pass to one of the defenders who have to leave to box and move up to the midfield
3rd: Add one more defensive player (3rd striker or midfielder in this case)
4rd: Set up an other goal and add more midfielders to both team (2v2). After defenders pass the the ball up and creating outnumbered situation on midfield and try to score.
- Teaching how to play put from the back (giving passing options, when to pass- when to dribble)
- Positioning of CM, RD/LD, CD off the ball
- Teaching clearing the defense zone after the defenders passed the ball up
- CM: Continue attacking with the upmoving players
