4 v 4 + 4 in the Penalty Box

To develop pressing coordination, spatial control, and finishing ability under pressure.

Attacking: • Encourage quick, sharp passing and movement off the ball to create space. • Be decisive and clinical in front of goal—capitalize on half-chances. • Use the Red target players to stretch the play and find attacking options. Defending: • Apply immediate pressure on the ball to disrupt attacks. • Maintain compactness in the box to block shots and close down passing lanes. • Communicate effectively to track runners and coordinate pressing efforts. Transitions: • Ensure quick transitions between attack and defence. • Attackers must react instantly when possession is lost to counter-press.
