Portugal may not have scored directly from this routine, but the creativity, disguise, and execution created a fantastic goalscoring opportunity. This would be a great addition to your attacking set-piece arsenal. 💪⚽

Dayo F. let us know how it goes 💪

Really interested to see how the get on, top team and they tend to bring the world cup flair every tournament 💪 

Nice one, Kiko! Let’s see how the get on tonight ⚽️

They seem to be a lot of peoples surprise package team - they have got an edge 🇯🇵

You can add a 4th phase to this one, creating a 4 v 3 in the opposite direction. You can take it a step further and create a 5th phase, a  6 v 4 in the opposite direction - completely changing the dynamic of the overload and further questioning whether to attack quickly or take more of a balanced approach to the attack. 🙌

After running this practice, let me know what worked well for you and what you needed to adjust to suit your teams needs. There are 1000's of coaches who would love to hear your feedback 💪

How would you adjust this practice? We love hearing your coaching ideas! 🙌

Great Kiko ! Hope the session went well 💪

Hi Chip Smith,

The season plans are split up into seven mesocycles and each mesocycle represents a 6 week block in a season. Each 6 week block is broken down further into one full session a week for each of the 6 phases of play (Phase 1: Begin the Attack, Phase 2: Possession Questions, Phase 3: Finish the Attack, Phase 4: Press to Regain, Phase 5: Organised Defending and Phase 6: Defend the Goal). 

If you have two/three sessions in a week, you can use any session/practice combination from any of the other mesocycles, depending on which of the phases of play your team needs to focus on in that week.

Our base plan covers each of the phases of play to ensure squads with only one session a week have variety in their training, but you can pull in sessions from other phases for a 2 session training week e.g Session 1: Phase 1:Build Up and Session 2: Phase 4: Press to Regain as these two phases complement each other. Let me know if that helps and if you have any questions. 🙌
