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. Start with the opposition playing a live pass through our front three to a midfielder near halfway.
Practice task
The nearest of #8 or #10 steps when #6 can cover; the beaten presser recovers to help without fouling. The back four adjust to forward runs. If cover is absent, delay until support arrives.
What to observe
The receiver is pressured again before progressing freely, with a connected covering player behind the new presser.
Progression
Vary whether the receiver turns, lays off or carries, so the recovering players must select a new pressure point.
