Counterpress to Second Regain — Lose, Win, Lose, Win
A continuous transition game designed to create a second reaction after the first counterpress succeeds. The sequence only scores when a team reacts correctly through multiple possession changes.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Play 4v4 or 5v5 in a 26x22m area with four mini-goals outside the corners. After any turnover, play continues. A bonus point is awarded only if a team loses the ball, regains within five seconds, loses it again and reacts to win or force the ball out a second time.
Coaching Points
Do not relax after the first regain | Closest player presses immediately after every loss | Teammates close nearby escape lanes | Secure the first regain before the next risky pass | Communication must survive repeated transitions
Progressions
- Reduce the counterpress window from five to three seconds.
Regressions
- Award the bonus after only one successful regain before building toward the full sequence.
