Today we entered the 3rd day of our football course, with the theme centred around building up, using the new Cruyff methodology.
This morning our players were introduced to 4 or 5 exercises, with the objective in building up attacks in order to score. Firstly, we focused on some basic action exercises and swiftly moved into some opposed practices, using different challenges to provoke learning.

Before lunch, all of our players were introduced to some new possession based exercises that were challenging from start to finish. The objective of these were to score, but as we know this isn’t always the case. This is where we then introduced the pressing moment of the game, as there was plenty of opportunity to transition.

Lastly today, our players were put into game situations (tactical overloads), where they could showcase what they had learnt in possession (under pressure) and getting into suitable positions to receive the ball.

We were extremely pleased with the application of all players today and the learning that took place!

Tomorrow our focus will be on attacking, looking at converting the goal scoring opportunities.
