Jörg Madinger - Opening playing variants against various defense systems

- Repeat the exercise on the right side after a few rounds.

- Switch the defense players at regular intervals.

In this basic exercise, should be forced to move to the inner side, so that can receive a pass and break through. may hold bibs in his armpits so that he cannot move freely and needs help from his teammates more often.

should start the parallel piston movement (G) in such a way that he receives the ball at full speed.

If has already moved along too far to the left, may also break through towards the center.

Setting:

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

Basic idea:

- The players now combine the two prior exercises, so that they have to make proper decisions several times in a row.

(Figure 1)

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 , so that the latter is forced to shift his weight onto his left leg:

→ If does not move along to the inner side, breaks through directly (D) (= option 1).

→ If moves to the inner side (C), dynamically moves to the left and tries to break through directly (E) (= option 2).

- Depending on the defense players’ movement, should decide as follows:

→ If moves along to defend against the breakthrough (G), runs straight forward, receives a pass from into his running movement path (H), and eventually breaks through (N and J) (= option 3).

(Figure 2)

→ If closes the gap and stays on the outer side, takes on the crossing, receives the ball from (L), and breaks through to the inner side (M) (= option 4).

should carry out his actions at full speed and initially try to get a chance to shoot at the goal directly.

should initially keep both options open:

- Parallel piston movement (J).

- Taking on the crossing (L and M).

Competition:

- and carry out three defense actions against all attacking teams of 2.

- Following this, it is the next two players’ turn to play defense. Repeat until each player has played defense once.

- Which attacking teams of 2 have scored highest?

Add a feeder/receiver each on the left and right side of the playing corridor to make the free 2-on-2 play easier. This way, the players may start the initial action after receiving the feeder’s/receiver’s return pass, so they have more time to prepare for their piston movement.

Recommended for overcoming these defense systems: all
