Roma Unopposed Countering
ADDED TO FAVOURITES
Practice Breakdown:
Number of Players: 9 | Pitch size: 30x40
This unopposed countering drill allows players to develop specific movements and passing sequences that are directly relevant to fast counter-attacking scenarios. Three players enter the grid and execute structured attacking patterns, simulating real match tempo.
Three mannequins are positioned centrally to act as obstacles, helping replicate defenders and encouraging players to adjust angles and timing of runs. These movements should be sharp, dynamic, and repeatable to help develop instinctive play during quick transitions.
• Timing of Passes: Ensure each pass is made at the right moment to maintain attacking momentum and disrupt defensive shape.
• Angle of Support: Players off the ball must position themselves effectively to offer clear, progressive options at speed.
• Body Shape to Receive: Receiving players should open up with their first touch to play forward quickly and efficiently.
• Movement Off the Ball: Emphasize sharp, purposeful runs that mimic real game counter-attack scenarios.
• Communication Between Players: Encourage early and clear calls to ensure fluid movement and decision-making.
Add Finishing Phase:
Introduce a final pass that sets up a shot on goal after the third movement. Players must time their final run behind the mannequins to simulate breaking a defensive line.
Focus: Adds purpose to movement by finishing the attack, reinforcing sharp passing and movement toward goal.
Introduce Shadow Defenders:
Add passive or semi-active defenders to follow runners or block passing lanes. Attackers must now react to pressure and adapt their counter patterns accordingly.
Focus: Builds game realism by forcing players to adapt their decisions and angles in tighter spaces.
