🔥 Develop Build Up Unopposed | 4231

We kick off the week with an analysis video breaking down Phase 1 and Phase 2 build-up play options in a 4231 formation, focusing on key tactical patterns and player movements to progress the ball effectively from the back.

Throughout the rest of the week, we’ll release a series of linked practices, providing you with everything you need to implement these strategies with your team.🙌

🎉 Break the Press for Midfield Possession | 97-P10

This phase of play practice focuses on breaking down a 2-3-1 press using a 3-2-1 setup, emphasising quick decision-making, effective ball progression, and intelligent movement. Let us know how your players get on with this one! 🙌

🔥 Exploiting Midfield Overloads | 99-P11

This medium sided game is linked to our 3-2-1 formation series, designed to master phase 2 build-up by playing through midfield and exploiting central overloads. Perfect for building composure, decision-making, and sharp attacking combinations! 🎉

⚽️ Midfield Solutions to Beat the Press (1321) | 99-P4

This technical passing practice focuses on building play from the back, emphasising ball rotation, finding the free midfielder, and progressing through a 2-3-1 press. Designed around the principles of the 3-2-1 series, we will work through 3 different pressing scenarios, creating patterns to bypass these presses effectively. Players will develop their ability to read the press, execute precise passes, and transition positions dynamically, ensuring continuous movement and progression. 🔥
