Oslo Attacking Overloaded

This attacking overload practice begins with a player dribbling forward to commit defenders before releasing a pass into one of two wide attackers positioned on the left and right. Once the wide player receives, the practice becomes live with a 3v2 attacking scenario, involving the initial dribbler, the wide attacker and a central number 9 attacking against two defenders.

The attacking unit is encouraged to combine quickly, create overloads and attack the goal with purpose. The practice can be progressed by allowing the opposite winger—who does not initially receive the pass—to join the phase, creating a 4v2 and increasing the attacking options and decision-making demands.
