Lorient Attacking 2v2
ADDED TO FAVOURITES
Practice Breakdown:
Number of Players: 6 | Pitch size: 30x30
This practice starts with a pass into a centre forward who is under pressure from a defender behind. As soon as the pass is played, all players become live and engage in a 2v2 situation until the ball is dead. Teams can alternate roles after every repetition or complete a set number of reps before switching. Players should rotate through both attacking and defending roles, ensuring they experience starting positions both with their back to goal and facing forward.
• Back-to-Goal Play – When the centre forward receives the ball under pressure, they must focus on holding possession, using their body to shield the ball and creating space for a quick pass or turn.
• Forward-Facing Play – Players in the attacking phase should aim to break free of their defender quickly, using smart movement and timing to receive the ball in a forward-facing position to exploit attacking opportunities.
• Defensive Awareness – Defenders should pressure the attacker efficiently, focusing on positioning themselves to block passes or anticipate turns, ensuring they are tight but not over-committed.
• Transition and Switching Roles – Encourage quick transitions between attacking and defending roles. Players should react swiftly, either by closing down the ball after losing possession or making the most of counter-attacks when regaining the ball.
Limit Touches for Attackers
Restrict the attackers to a set number of touches (e.g., two or three).
Focus: Encourages quicker decision-making and increases the intensity of the 2v2 situations, simulating match conditions.
Add a Support Player
Introduce a neutral player or additional attacker to support the 2v2 scenario.
Focus: Adds complexity to the attacking phase, challenging defenders to deal with more threats and allowing the attackers to combine in a more dynamic manner.
