2v2 Isolation Game — Create the 1v1
A 2v2 game where attackers score only after one player creates and attacks an isolated 1v1. The supporting player learns when to clear space and when to reconnect.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Use a 16x12m area with two mini-goals. Play continuous 2v2 rounds. A goal counts only if the scoring action follows a clear 1v1 isolation created by movement or a pass.
