ALL GAMES PLAY FOR 2 MINS AND ROTATE - THESE ARE HIGH WORK RATE GAMES.
1 V 1 - ONE END SERVES TO THE OTHER. THE RECEIVING PLAYER TRIES TO PLAY A BALL INTO THE OUTSIDE PLAYER ON THE OTHER END. IF SUCCESSFUL THEY MUST THEN SHOW TO THE BALL AND TRY TO GO TO THE OTHER END. IF DEFENDER WINS THE BALL THEY TRY TO PLAY THE BALL INTO THE OTHER END AND IF SUCCESSFUL THEY MUST SHOW TO THE BALL AND TRY TO GO THE OTHER DIRECTION.
IF BALL GOES OUT OF BOUNDS - RESTART FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
SAME IDEA FOR THE OTHER TWO PROGRESSIONS.
HIGH WORK RATE, THIS IS NOT A SHIELDING EXERCISE , IT IS BEAT SOMEONE AND LAY THE BALL OFF AND SHOW.
DEFENSE- CONTAIN AND TAKE AWAY PASSING LANE.
1 V 2 - STAY DEEPER THAN BOTH, BACK TO GOAL PLAYING FROM INSIDE OUT.
2 V 2 - SAME RULES AS 1 V 1

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.

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.
