This week's exercises are from our book, 'The Brazilian Box Midfield'
Topic: From Ball Possession in the Middle third to Transition to Attack
Full Field 8 v 8 plus GK’s. Level One - Unlimited touches.Group One posses the ball inside of the middle 1/3.
Objective
First 10 minutes, six or seven passes before Group One can attack. Every time Group Two steals the ball, the game stops and re-starts with Group One in possession again. Switch roles every 5 attempts for each Group.
Second 10 minutes. Group One posses the ball; six or seven passes is equal an attack. If Group Two gains possession then they immediately counter attack Group One going to goal. Switch roles every 5 attempts.
Last 10 minutes – Group One and Group Two try to connect six or seven passes before going to goal.Observation: there will be pressure in the Defensive Third for all steps of the evolution (defend just like in the regular game).
