Setup & instructions

On a turnover, four attackers break against two recovering defenders and a keeper. Carry it forward to commit a defender, use a decoy run and the width to stretch the pair, then play the through ball for the central runner to finish. Go fast, the advantage is lost if the defence recovers. Rotate roles and start the break from a live turnover as a progression.

Setup time: 2 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Break at once: the numbers advantage is fleeting
  • Carry to commit a defender before you release the pass
  • Use the decoy run and the width to stretch the two
  • Time the through ball to the runner, not to feet
  • Finish first time or compose it, but do not slow down

Common mistakes

  • Slowing down and letting the defence recover
  • Passing before committing a defender
  • The decoy not making a genuine run to drag a marker
  • Playing the through ball to feet instead of into space

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Start from a live turnover in a small game
  • Add a recovering third defender to make it 4v3
  • Set a time limit to finish the counter

Regressions

  • Passive defenders to groove the pattern
  • Walk the runs and the through ball first
  • Add a spare attacker for a 5v2
