Training Day (Channel 11) - Bruno Lage - 'Build-up from the back' (Patreon)

EXERCISE #2- 'Build-up Game with Zones'

Objective: Build-up - Ball possession by Goalkeeper and Central Defenders.

Organization: 9v9 (GK+2+3+3 v 3+3+2+GK + 1 Midfielder who plays for the team in possession of the ball).

Graphic:

Description:

- In the defending team, two of the three attackers play in the middle zone.

- In this exercise, in order to privilege the build-up by the Goalkeeper and Central Defenders, the Midfielders do not go down to the rearmost zone (they wait for the ball in the middle zone).

- Attackers can drop to the middle zone to take advantage of the spaces in the back of the other team's Midfielders.

- Whenever the ball enters a new zone, the attacking team moves freely in order to create numerical superiority.

- The defending team, when recovering the ball, attacks the goal of the other team, while the team that loses the ball can defend with two of its attackers in the middle zone.

Key Aspects:

- Get into the habit of passing hard on support.
