Out of Possession

This session is designed to prepare the team to channel opponents into an area where we have an advantage or an overload, then intensely press to win possession and quickly launch a counter-attack.

Switching the point of attack

Attacking

Encourage your players to switch the point of attack at pace – get the ball into wide areas of the pitch and enable the wingers to cross into the runs of the attackers.
