The object of this exercise is to create options for an inverted winger eg. right footed player, playing on the left hand side.
From the GK the ball is kicked to the red winger. As soon as the winger takes a touch the blue defender becomes active and looks to shut down the winger. Ideally in a game scenario the defender would show the winger onto his weaker foot.
The winger in this scenario will have the option to cross early on his weaker foot, take on the defender and cross with his weaker foot or cut the ball back to the on rushing midfielder for the first time shot.
At all times the defender should be attempting to keep the attacker on his weaker foot while his defensive team mates track the runs of the opposition forwards
- Developing the weaker foot
- 1v1 attacking at pace
It is important that we remind our players of the importance of attacking the defender at pace so that we do not kill the momentum of our strikers runs
- Strikers support runs
Our strikers must be reminded to time their runs. Too early and they will not have the momentum to meet the cross. Too slow and they will allow the defenders to clear the ball. Ideally our strikers will make their runs as soon as our winger goes past his man
Midfield support runs
Our midfielders should be encouraged to support the attackby providing a deeper option for our winger.
