Blue wash: Attacking half · Gold box: Cover behind the attack · Gold rings: key roles
Blue plays toward the top goal. The shaded area identifies the phase; supporting roles may sit outside it. All 22 players retain their 4-3-3 positions.
Starting picture · Blue: Northbridge · Sand: opposition · Gold rings: focus players · White dot: ball
A starting picture for the practice, with the focus players highlighted. Both teams keep their 4-3-3 roles; movement and decisions develop through live play.
Organization
11v11, full pitch, two goals, both teams in 4-3-3 with normal offside. Start as 2 advances outside 7.
Practice task
Attack normally. 6, 3 and the centre-backs organize behind the overlap, checking the opposition outlets before any turnover occurs.
What to observe
The team retains a useful supporting pass and cover for the central route if the wide attack breaks down.
Progression
The opposition may leave one or two forwards high, so cover must adapt to their positions.
