to improve the reacting capacity after shooting.

half of the field with the support of 4 external players. If the defending

they move to their own half. The team who lost possession in their own
half try recover it before the opponent moves into their own half.

Description:
3 attackers try to score vs. 2 defenders and a Keeper. Ball carrier must attack nearest
defender, isolate him and then pass the ball. Right after this they change functions
and become defenders, covering the 2 mini-goals at midfield facing 4 opponents.
Dont have to react fast to possession lost, pressuring, if we are unbalanced and
unable to do pressure;
After finishing, when switching functions, become compact and protect the two
goals;
Understand the moment they must recover possession or recover the spaces quickly.

FINAL THOUGHTS (1 of 2)
Defensive Transition, the moment a team loses possession, is
very dicult to train, requiring more detailed training. Players
must be individually trained to transform those skills into
collective. All players must have the same reaction in the game
in this moment;
Critical moment of the game. We are opening up the game while the
opponent is narrowing the field becoming more compact. Its a moment
of change where there are unbalances as we lose possession;
Recovering the ball right after losing possession, we find the opponent
transitioning from defense to oense, and when possession is recovered
in that moment there are a lot of goals.
