Blue wash: Defending half · Gold box: Recovery between the ball and goal · 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 on a full pitch with two regulation goals, normal offside and both teams in a 4-3-3. Restart with the opposition right winger beyond our first line and carrying toward #3; #11 and #10 recover from realistic advanced positions.
Practice task
#3 delays without diving in. #5 covers inside, #6 protects the next central pass, and #11 and #10 regain useful defensive positions. The opponent remains free to pass, carry or shoot.
What to observe
The attack loses speed and our recoverers reach positions that can pressure, cover or track before a clear chance develops.
Progression
Let the opposition right-back overlap immediately, testing whether #3 can protect inside while delaying the two-player threat.
