Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Use a build-up area across the defensive third. One goalkeeper and four possession players start against four defenders. The build-up side scores by progressing through gates or finding target players beyond the press.
Coaching Points
Use the goalkeeper to create superiority; stretch the press; recognise the free player; receive side-on; play forward when possible and recycle when blocked.
Progressions
- Add a finishing phase after successful progression.
Regressions
- Reduce the number of pressers or widen the build-up area.
