MARESCA,COMPLETION

🧠 1. Exercise description

Exercise designed to automate offensive combinations, strengthen the attacking mechanisms in a system with wingers and a center forward, and promote the synchronization of movements in the advanced zone. It is based on repeated actions and tactical patterns that reflect real situations of the own game system.

🧩 2. Organization and development

• The offensive team is organized on the basis of a system with wingers and a 9 as a reference (e.g. 1-4-3-3 or 1-3-4-3).

• The exercise focuses on offensive sequences that combine:

  • Breakaway or support of the striker

  • Interior end walls and diagonals

  • Actions of the offensive midfield or interior players coming from second line

• Offensive actions are developed from the middle zone to the end, with a structured sequence of passing, moving, receiving and finishing.

• The coach can condition completion types or attacking sides to influence specific patterns in the system.

🎯 4. Tips or main aspects

• 🧠 Tactical clarity in offensive roles: each player must understand his role in the pattern.

• 🎯 A ccuracy in the pass and in the timing of the unmarking: vital for the fluidity of the action.

• 👥 Coordination in movements without the ball: occupy and free spaces correctly.

• 🔄 Repetition with active correction: automate without losing quality or tactical intent.

🔄 3. Variants

• 🔁 Introduce progressive opposition (passive → active defenders).

• ⏱️ Include time constraints to encourage speedy decision making.

• 🔄 Rotate positions between wingers, strikers and attacking midfielders.

• ⚙️ Work from both profiles of the field to balance automatisms.
