Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve Finding space, Positional play, Intercepting passes and Alternating between passes into open space and passes straight to a partner.
Field Preparation:
 Area 20 x 20 yards. Groups of three. Supply of balls. Cones. Colored bibs.
Coaching Points:
Two-against-one represents the most important numerical superiority in football. By constantly slipping away from his marker and by dummying off the ball to make his opponent move off in the wrong direction, a player can support his partner who can then hit his pass either into an empty space or straight to the first player’s feet. The player without the ball tries to win it by intelligent positional play.
Method
Two players play against one. When this defender wins the ball, he gives it straight back to the attacking pair.
Roles are changed after a certain time.
Variations
- No restrictions, with dribbling permitted.
- Three-touch football.
- Every third pass has to be played first time.
- Every pass has to be made first time.
- Having won the ball, the defender changes places immediately with the player who has given it away.
