KOMPANY RONDO 4x4x4

🧠 1. Exercise description

Positional play drill with numerical superiority (6x2) , focused on the tactical work of the defensive line and midfielders , with special attention to ball circulation, change of orientation , and structured transitions . Ideal for reinforcing the game model in the initial and progression phases.

🧩 2. Organization and development

• 3 teams of 4 players participate (12 in total).

• The space is delimited and divided into two main zones , separated by the middle of the field.

• In each sequence, a 6×2 superiority is configured:

  • 4 team players in possession.

  • 2 wild cards (usually full-backs or inside).

  • 2 pressurers (from the defending team).

• The objective is to maintain possession for a specific sequence of passes (e.g. 5-6) and then make an effective change of direction to the other sector.

• At the moment of the change of play, outside players (such as full-backs) must readjust their position to the new sector to ensure continuity of possession.

• If the defending team recovers the ball , it exchanges roles with the team that lost possession.

🎯 4. Tips or main aspects

• 🧠 Reading the space and making decisions to choose the moment of the change of orientation .

• 📍 Body profile and orientation when receiving the ball , especially from center backs and midfielders.

• 👣 Synchronized mobility of outside players to facilitate sector shifts.

• 🗣️ Constant communication and clear tactical structuring to maintain defined roles in each rotation.

🔄 3. Variants

• 🔁 Reduce the number of touches allowed to increase the technical demand.

• 📐 Include interior wildcards or a goalkeeper as additional support to generate more passing lanes.

• ⏱️ Limit the time to execute the change of orientation , simulating real pressure.

• 🔄 Modify the change sectors (diagonal, horizontal, towards the band) to train different trajectories.
