SEQUENCE:The coach decides who is the goalkeeper who must start the exercise and he passes to two one of the player of the attacking team (A and B – 1); the other goalkeeper is the defending one. A and B play 2 vs 1 (2-3) against an active defender (D) inside the bigger area of a square space, divided in two areas (with one outer flank).
Two other players, the forward C and the defender and D, are placed in the outside flank; the forward must try the loose his marker, following the possession phase of the teammates A and B, receive the ball (4) and send a cross pass back (5) to A and B to finish (6).
The defender must try to put pressure, closing the passing lines and intercept the ball; if he recovers the possession, he can try to finish in the opposite mini-goal (7) or passing toward his teammate D (8) who must finish in the opposite regular goal (9).
If the outnumbered player D wins the ball, he must try to score in the regular goal from where the exercise started.
