Fortaleza 3 Way 1v1s
ADDED TO FAVOURITES
Practice Breakdown:
Number of Players: 9 | Pitch size: 25x25
This 1v1 triangular finishing drill is designed to develop attacking decision-making, finishing under pressure, and defensive transitions. Three mini goals are set up in a triangle, with a player stationed behind each goal.
Team A starts as the attacker with Team B acting as the defender. The attacker can choose to score in either of the two goals that are not their own. Once the attacker shoots or loses the ball, the roles rotate: the team whose goal was attacked becomes the next attacker, the original attacker becomes the defender.
The continuous rotation ensures high engagement, encourages quick thinking, and develops the ability to attack and defend effectively in tight spaces.
• Attacking Decision-Making: Encourage attackers to quickly assess which goal offers the highest probability of scoring and react to the defender’s position.
• Finishing Technique: Emphasise composure, accurate placement, and varied finishing angles in 1v1 situations.
• Defensive Awareness: Coach defenders to anticipate attacking moves, close angles, and delay attackers without over-committing.
• Transition Speed: Maintain quick rotations to simulate game-like pressure and develop rapid role switching between attacking and defending.
Add a Starting Delay: Defender starts 1–2 steps behind the attacker, then accelerates once the attacker moves.
Focus: Enhances timing, acceleration, and realistic 1v1 defensive engagement while still challenging the attacker.
