Each repetition includes two distinct actions:

1. The first starts with the Goalkeeper with a pass to one of the Central Defenders and the team (including the players in orange) pass the ball with the aim of scoring a goal.

TRAINING DRILL #3 - 'Balance Game of the Center Midfield':

Organization: 8v4+GK & 6v6+GK

Graphic:

Description:

- The exercise starts in the offensive midfield by the orange midfielder, who always plays for the team that initiates the action (he is the reference in the movement and balance of the team). The team seeks to score a goal while always remaining balanced (with the orange midfielder and at least one of the side defenders) with a positioning that allows an effective reaction in case they lose the ball.

- When the defending team recovers the ball, with the support of the two Inside Midfielders, it tries to connect the game with the players in the offensive midfield to attack the goal in numerical superiority.

TRAINING DRILL #4 - 'Game GK+10v10+GK':

Organization: GK+10v(3+7)+GK

Graphic:

Description:

In this game, the players in the blue team must ensure a positioning that allows, on the one hand, the balance of the structure and, on the other hand, a permanent surveillance of the opponents, having as a reference the three players in orange.
