Apoel 4v4 & Countering

In this 4v4 + counter-attacking practice, play begins with a coach serving the ball into a central area where four attackers attempt to score against four defenders. The attacking team looks to combine, penetrate and finish under pressure, while the defending team focuses on regaining possession with control. Upon winning the ball, the defenders must immediately play forward into a centre forward positioned in a central transition zone. This triggers a counter-attacking phase, where three attackers break forward to attack two recovering defenders in the opposite zone, creating a realistic transition moment from defence to attack.
