Yellow Back 4 and 2 CM's - less opposed practice to get the Starting XI comfortable and familiar with movement off the ball and be confident with decision making when looking to penetrate in the final third or from deeper. Get CB's thinking and splitting wide to allow DdJ to drop in as 3rd CB to create overload and to push full backs on to try and recieve high up the pitch.
Red team starts exercise with ball on half way - main aim to create overloads in wide areas through full backs getting in to advanced areas and being aggressive in the final 3rd.
or through incisive balls in the final third to open up the back four, chipped in behind or slid in behind FB's/Splitting CB's
Encourage Red wide players to take full backs inside to open up space for full back to venture into the vacant space thus creating 2 v1 on the opposition full back. Red midfielders need to get on the ball and be barve- look forwards to open up tea defending deep. Must be creative and not resort to straight balls from deep. Need good rotation from front three and No.10 to create pockets of space for each other and themselves.
