Defending Free Kicks

The 'My Stuff' feature is amazing! It's a coach's best friend!
Thomas

DESCRIPTION

Set-up:

4 players in the wall (5th player if needed- call back striker to man mark)

4 players man marking to ensure if ball is crossed rather than shot attackers ar covered and to collect any 2nd balls

1 player (if available) will be at top of the D zonal marking (screen passes into attackers near far post/prepare for if ball is passed sideways to get pressure on quickly)

1 player maintaining depth on pitch by staying around half way line (if not needed to defend free kick)

COACHING POINTS

  • If ball is touched by attackers - players in wall need to sprint towards ball for a block. 
  • Keeper neeeds to be either off his line slightly and central to goal OR off centre so that he can see the free kick takers - whichever they prefer.
