The object of this drill is to be patient and maintain possession of the ball for attackers in their area until an opening is created or a through pass can be achieved to penetrate the defenders area. Once the attackers have played a ball into the defensive area then all attackers can enter the defensive area and attack the goal.
The defenders must maintain their shape and position to stop the attackers from breaching their area and getting a ball through their defences. One defender enters the attackers area to pressure the player on the ball.
If the defenders steal the ball then they all can enter the attackers area and attack either of the two small goals placed on the half way line.
If any goals are scored either by the attackers or defenders play starts with the attackers back in their area.

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.
