Jörg Madinger - Opening playing variants against various defense systems

- dynamically runs in direction of and receives a return pass into his running path (B).

- approaches on the right side (D) so that the latter is forced to shift his weight onto his left leg (to prevent a possible breakthrough of on the right), and then dynamically moves to the left (E).

should hold the ball with his left hand (i.e. the hand distant to the defense player) when moving to the left. The offense player’s body should be between the defense player and the ball. Here, in the example, the right-handed player holds the ball in his left hand when making the body feint to the left (figure 2).

(Figure 2)

- should move towards the goal dynamically and in such a way that must follow him in order to be able to prevent a breakthrough (F).

- Following the return pass (B), initially runs straight ahead (C).

- takes on the crossing, receives a pass (G), takes a turn towards the goal at top speed (H), and eventually shoots at the goal (J).

- Following the action, lines up for the left back position (K) and the players repeat the sequence with and .

- After a few rounds, the players should do the course on the other side, with the right back player, i.e. should initially do a piston movement to the left, take a dynamic turn to the right, into the crossing movement.

At the beginning of the exercise, should move along with the running feint movement of , but interact with a power of 70% only. He should allow the pass (G). In the further course of the exercise, should increase resistance gradually.

Course 2:

- The basic course remains the same as in course 1.

- should now try to break through on the right (H and J) or left side (L) directly.

- Only if a direct breakthrough is impossible, he should pass the ball into the crossing movement path (G).

- should make sure that he can pass the ball anytime during his action.

- now interacts with 100% power to prevent a breakthrough and may also try to prevent a pass.

Setting:

- Put two cones on the floor to define the playing field.

- The players stand on the left back and center back positions, spread evenly; two players start as defense players.

Course:

- starts the sequence with a pass to (A).

- dynamically runs in direction of and receives a return pass into his running path (B).

- moves a bit towards the right side of (C), so that the latter is forced to shift his weight onto his left leg (to prevent a possible breakthrough of ), and then dynamically moves to the left (D).

- should prevent a breakthrough to the left (E); should support , as needed (F).

- As soon as moves to the inner side (F), receives a pass into his dynamic running movement path (G), breaks through, and shoots at the goal (H).

- Afterwards, repeat the sequence with the next two attacking players. and switch positions and line up again.
