. Wide OverloadObjective: Use a combination of passes and movements to progress the ball down one side of the field while involving all four lines of play. Key Concepts: Utilize the full-back, strong-side #6, wide forward, and #9 to create numerical superiority on one side. Emphasize bounce passes (quick one-twos), combination play, and off-the-ball movement. Once one side works, the other side recovers, alternating the workload. Instructions: Start with the center-back feeding the ball to the full-back. The #6 provides a close option for support. The wide forward moves into space to receive a pass, with the #9 making a diagonal run to stretch the defense. Look for quick passing sequences: from the full-back to the #6, to the wide forward, and into the #9 or beyond. If the defense crowds the space, reset and switch sides. Tips for Success: Players off the ball should constantly reposition to provide passing lanes. Communicate to ensure timing and movement stay synchronized.
Positioning: Ensure the full-back stays wide, the #6 provides close support, and the wide forward stretches the field to create space. Quick Passing: Emphasize sharp, one- or two-touch passing to keep the defense under pressure. Off-the-Ball Movement: Players must constantly reposition to create triangles and maintain passing lanes.
