Final Third Game

Improve defensive organisation, pressing, and team shape while transitioning between attack and defence.

Setup: • Play 7v7 in a zone containing 8 goals to encourage quick decision-making. • One team (green) sets up in a 3-3-1 formation, emphasising compactness and defensive coverage. • The other team (black) sets up in a 2-4-1 formation, focusing on ball circulation and attacking overloads. Execution: • Play 10-minute games. The team with the most goals at the end of 10 minutes wins. • The defending team should focus on moving as a unit across the pitch to cover spaces and protect the goals. • The attacking team should focus on switching play quickly and stretching the opposition defence to create gaps.
