• Build the decisiveness and execution the game demands

Setup

This is a game-realistic drill that starts with two attackers finishing, then flows straight into a live 2v2.

１）Set up a 40m x 30m field (a futsal court works fine).

２）Start with two attackers, two defenders, and one keeper.

３）Play the ball out from in front of the keeper; the attackers combine and look to finish.

４）As soon as the shot is taken, the first attacking pair switches to defense.

５）The other pair becomes the attackers, and now you’re into a live 2v2.

６）In the 2v2, the defending pair protects two mini-goals (on the sides of the field).

７）The attackers go at either goal, using quick passing to break the defense down.

８）Rotate in a new pair after a set time (say, one minute) or once a goal goes in.
