1v1 defending and attacking game.
The coach plays the ball into the attacker, the defender now races out to defend 1v1.
The attacker is trying to score in the big goal and the defender is trying to regain the ball and score in the mini goals.
This game is named after Kolo and Yaya Toure with the defender and attacker taking on each players role/style of play.
