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 on a full pitch with two regulation goals, normal offside and both teams in a 4-3-3. Start with the opposition right winger receiving in the final third against #3, with #11 recovering and #5 covering.
Practice task
#3 reads the first touch and closes the crossing route without offering an easy inside dribble. #11 supports according to the winger's options; the opponent can cross early, combine or drive.
What to observe
The delivery is prevented or made under pressure, with the inside route and central cover preserved.
Progression
Alternate passes into the winger's feet and into space behind #3, changing the approach and recovery problem.
