Zonal defense and vertical compression (7v7)
- Level:
- Intermediate
- Duration:
- 20 min
Description
In half a pitch, we mark out 5 central zones of 5 meters each and play a 7v7 match with teams set up in a 1-4-2 formation. The objective is for the defending team to perform a rapid vertical compression into the next 5-meter zone whenever the ball carrier plays a backward pass. This must be accompanied by intense pressure from the 2 most advanced players. 3 sets of 6 minutes each.
