GASPERINI, COUNTER-ATTACK AND LATERAL CROSS

🧠 1. Exercise description

Defensive tactical exercise focused on defending lateral crosses in numerical disadvantage, after a loss on the flank during the defensive transition. It seeks to improve coordination and communication between the central defenders and the midfield, as well as the ability to defend the area against quick attacks in numerical disadvantage.

🧩 2. Organization and development

  • A lost ball situation is simulated by the fullback, triggering an opponent's offensive transition.

  • The attacking team launches a counterattack with 3 players looking to get to the back line to make a lateral cross into the box.

  • They defend with two central defenders and a midfielder, quickly retreating to organize themselves and defend the end zone.

  • The defensive objective is to deny the possibility of a clear shot or intercept the cross, prioritizing the occupation of zones and the active surveillance of the attackers.

🎯 4. Tips or main aspects

  • 📢 Constant communication between central defenders and midfielders to distribute marks and zones.

  • 🧠 Reading the center and trajectory of the ball to anticipate actions.

  • 👣 Body profile and proper defensive orientation in retreating and marking.

  • ⏱️ Quickness in reorganizing after a loss: key to prevent the deficit from turning into a goal.

🔄 3. Variants

  • 🔁 Include an attacking winger or fullback to provoke 4×3 situations.

  • 📐 Change the counterattack exit profile, from left or right.

  • ⏱️ Limit the time of the attack to reinforce the rapid transition character.

  • 🧍‍♂️ Include goalkeeper to work on defense-goalkeeper coordination in clearing or blocking.
