Tactical exercise focused on the search for passing lines from the defensive line to the midfielders, working on the offensive organization in ball exit and the defensive structure to intercept and counterattack. The aim is to train both the technical gesture of the vertical pass and the defensive reading and reaction after recovery.
Participants:
Two central midfielders and an outside midfielder (in a line of three), plus an organizing midfielder in front of them.
Opposing defensive line, which acts as a medium-high block, blocking passing lanes.
In the delimited space, 4 small goals are placed representing the position of the 4 attacking midfielders (i.e. two inside players and two wingers).
The objective of the team in possession (3+1) is to connect a clean pass towards one of the goals, pretending to find a free midfielder with his back to the pressure.
The opposing defensive line must intercept, and if it recovers, it initiates a counterattack in numerical superiority towards the marked zone or offensive objective.
🧠 Reading the right moment to filter the vertical pass: observing the movement of the defenders and the positioning of the "midfielders".
👟 Technical precision in filtered passing and control of the pace of play at the start.
📐 Defensive occupancy and bascule to close passing lanes.
⚡ Fast transition after recovery, taking advantage of the opponent's disorganization to attack with superiority.
🔁 Change the number of defenders under pressure to adjust the difficulty (from 2 to 3 or 4).
⚙️ Add fixed offensive jokers between lines to facilitate progression if they receive.
📍 Rotate roles sequentially to work on starting, pressing and counterattacking with everyone.
🔄 Delimit the time or number of passes before seeking verticality to force quick decisions.
