Blue wash: Attacking half · Gold box: Connections between the pressing lines · 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 with the opposition goalkeeper; our front three begin high and all other players take realistic supporting positions.
Practice task
The opponent builds toward our goal. #9 guides play wide; the front three, midfield and back four move around the ball together. Play continues through a regain or a broken press.
What to observe
Opponents cannot receive freely between our lines, and #1 and the back four can still deal with a ball behind.
Progression
Allow the opponent to alternate short build-up and direct passes so our line height responds to pressure.
