KOMPANY POSITIONAL PLAY

📋 Description of the exercise

A tactical exercise designed to develop progression through numerical superiority in different phases of the field, integrating the collective concepts of "width" and "depth" in the final third. It allows for the mechanization of offensive behaviors in relation to space, time, and the rational occupation of the field .

🗂 Organization and development

• The field is divided into three functional zones:

  • Zone 1 (initial): 5+3 superiority (players from one team + 2 neutrals) versus 5 defenders. Objective: Maintain possession and find progression.

  • Zone 2 (intermediate): transition with an offensive 2×1 , which allows you to cross the line and activate the final phase.

  • Zone 3 (final third): two players spread out to provide width , simulating wingers or full-backs.

• The objective is to progress from zone to zone , ending with a pass to the wing and the arrival of the interior players in the second line to finish.

• Neutral players participate in different phases as support in possession, maintaining tactical superiority.

🎯 Key Aspects / Tips

• Work on patience in the initial phase to ensure effective progression.

• Promote timing in opening the ends when entering zone 3.

• Emphasize the concept of arriving from the second line with a break from the mark.

• Stimulate the intelligent occupation of horizontal and vertical space , activating real breadth and functional depth .

• Ensure synchronization between phases , especially between the outside pass and the entry into the area.

🔁 Variants

• Limit the number of passes before you can progress through the zones.

• Include floating defenders who can change zones after recovery.

• Establish maximum timing in each phase to increase tactical pressure.

• Change the layout of zones to work on other progression paths (inside-outside or outside-inside).
