Lazio Rondo to Finish
ADDED TO FAVOURITES
Practice Breakdown:
Number of Players: 15 | Pitch size: 40x20
The practice begins with a 4v2 rondo positioned on one side of the 18-yard box. The aim is for the possession team to complete a designated number of passes (e.g., 5-6) under pressure. Once this target is reached, they must play a penetrative pass into the two central attackers positioned just outside or inside the penalty area.
As the ball is played into the attackers, the two defending players from the rondo must immediately recover into the central area and attempt to block the shot or delay the play.
To increase the difficulty and realism, both attackers must combine before shooting—meaning the first attacker to receive the ball must play a set pass or lay-off to their teammate, who then attempts to finish.
• Rondo Focus: Encourage quick decision-making, one-touch passing, and off-ball movement to maintain possession under pressure.
• Timing of Central Pass: The final pass into the attackers should be crisp and well-timed—players must scan the central area and recognize the moment to break lines.
• Attacker Combination: Emphasize communication and awareness of defensive pressure before combining for a finish.
• Defensive Recovery: Encourage the defenders to react instantly once the ball is played into the central area to close space.
Add a Passive Defender in the Central Zone.:
Introduce a passive defender near the attackers during the combination phase.
This player doesn’t tackle but applies light pressure to force quicker decisions.
Focus: Increases difficulty of the attacking combination and forces attackers to scan and react faster.
Limit Time to Finish After Receiving.:
Add a 4-second time limit for the two attackers to get a shot off after receiving the ball.
This encourages sharp, instinctive play and simulates real match tempo.
Focus: Improves attacking urgency, quick combinations, and execution under time pressure.
