Blue wash: Attacking half · Gold box: Slow the counter and protect central depth · 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
22 players, two 4-3-3 teams, a full-size pitch and two goals. Begin with a midfield turnover that leaves the opposition carrier facing the back line.
Practice task
When immediate pressure is unavailable, 6 recovers centrally and the back four drop with cover. Let the counter continue so the line must manage both carrier and runners.
What to observe
Recovery closes the direct route to goal without all defenders collapsing onto the ball.
Progression
Start the opposition striker in different onside channels to change the line’s covering priorities.
