Blue wash: Attacking half · Gold box: Ball-side pressure and supporting cover · Gold rings: key roles
Blue plays toward the top goal. The shaded area identifies the phase; supporting roles may sit outside it. All 22 players retain their 4-3-3 positions.
Starting picture · Blue: Northbridge · Sand: opposition · Gold rings: focus players · White dot: ball
A starting picture for the practice, with the focus players highlighted. Both teams keep their 4-3-3 roles; movement and decisions develop through live play.
Organization
11v11 on a full pitch with two regulation goals, normal offside and both teams in a 4-3-3. Restart from the opposition goalkeeper, with their centre-backs split and fullbacks available on either side.
Practice task
The opponent chooses a side. Our striker, winger and midfield shift as the ball travels; the back four follow at a depth that still protects the long pass. Continue toward either goal.
What to observe
Pressure, cover and line movement arrive together, giving the receiver fewer forward options without isolating the presser.
Progression
Allow a one-touch return through the goalkeeper so the whole team must reverse its movement.
