VITOR BRUNO, POSITIONAL AND TRANSITION GAME

🧠 1. Exercise description

Exercise of positional play in numerical superiority (9×6), with the tactical objective of progressing until connecting with the striker, and activating immediate offensive transitions after loss. It allows working on the offensive positional structure depending on the chosen system, and the defensive behavior after recovery in a real match context.

🧩 2. Organization and development

• Two teams of six players and three neutral players are organized.

• In the offensive phase, the team works in 9×6 superiority (6 own + 3 wild cards).

• The playing space is distributed according to the tactical system to be worked on (e.g. 1-4-3-3 or 1-3-4-3), correctly positioning the linebackers, inside players, wingers, etc.

• The objective is to make a clean exit and structured progression of the ball, finishing with a connection with the striker or a filtered pass to the target zone.

• If the ball is lost, the team that recovers the ball must make an immediate offensive transition, trying to finish in one of the strategically placed small goals.

• The team that loses the ball must quickly retreat and organize itself defensively.
