FC Schalke - Small Sided Game 4:4+2



🎥 FC Schalke Training Exercise - Small Sided Game 4:4+2


🧑‍🏫 Small sided game with equal numbers inside - four (green) vs. four (orange) + 2 neutrals (white), positioned on the far ends. There is no middle neutral, meaning that the numerical advantage has to be created through the furthest player with short/long combinations.


🔍 By designing the shape of the grid as a long rectangle, you provoke the short patterns combining with the deep pass to the furthest neutral to relieve pressure.


🎯 Offensive - ball possession, third-man play, short/short/long combinations

🎯 Defensive - man-marking, closing down the middle channel, cover movements


📊 MD+1/2


⌚ 3x4min for overload

🏟️ 25x15m
