Lazio Making Forward Runs
ADDED TO FAVOURITES
Practice Breakdown:
Number of Players: 6 | Pitch size: 30x20
This practice is split into three separate zones: one on the left, one on the right, and a central void zone. Each team has 3 players, with one team in the left zone and the other in the right zone. The objective is for both teams to work through unopposed combination play within their designated zones. On the coach’s whistle, the teams must transition and travel from one end to the other using longer combination passes to cover the central void zone.
This drill emphasizes fluid passing and quick transitions, with an emphasis on using both short and longer passes to progress the ball through the zones efficiently.
• Fluid Passing Combinations: Encourage players to move the ball quickly and accurately within their zone. They should focus on maintaining a good rhythm with short, sharp passes while staying aware of the players around them. Timing and accuracy in passing are key for maintaining possession and building up the attack.
• Quick Transitions: Players should react quickly when the coach whistles and transition smoothly from short combinations to longer passes. Timing the movement into the central void zone is crucial, as the players should take advantage of the open space to progress the ball effectively.
• Movement Off the Ball: Players need to make intelligent runs to offer passing options and create space for their teammates. Encourage them to focus on making runs that pull defenders out of position, creating space for receiving the ball and continuing the flow of play.
• Communication: Communication is essential during both the short and longer passing phases. Players should talk to each other to ensure they’re on the same page regarding the next pass and movement, reducing the chance of mistakes and improving overall coordination.
Add a Defender:
Introduce one defender into the central zone who can challenge the team once they transition through the central area. The defender should look to apply pressure and try to win possession.
Focus: This progression adds pressure and challenges the attacking team’s ability to execute precise passes and make quick decisions under pressure as they transition through the central zone.
Increase the Number of Defenders:
Introduce two defenders into the central zone to increase difficulty. This forces the attacking team to work even harder to find passing lanes and make more creative combinations.
Focus: This progression simulates a more difficult scenario, where attackers need to work together, adjust their positioning, and move the ball more rapidly to break down a higher level of defensive pressure.
