Successful wing play with the 1-4-3-3 formation – Positioning, movements and combination play on the wings based on the tactics of Pep Guardiola with Manchester City When a team dictates possession, the opponents are usually forced in a passive role within their own half of the field. In order to be effective during defending they get well organized and compact especially in the central area which is the crucial part of the field. This reaction makes it difficult for the attacking team to break through them from the centre, so they should search for solutions in wide areas were more space can be found. In this presentation, which includes detailed diagrams and videos, we will analyse the attacking tactics of Pep Guardiola with Manchester City. The focus will be on how, through appropriate positioning, well timed movements and effective combination play on the wings, the Citizens manage to break through the opposition. Great attention is paid to the positioning and the reactions of the opposition, as the opponents play significant role in every tactical situation and we have to take them into account for appropriate decision making. Additionally, several animated drills are presented to help coaches apply the tactics used by Pep Guardiola to their teams, by simply adding or adjusting them to their own training sessions.    The analysed tactics for successful wing play can also be used with every possible formation by making the appropriate adjustments.

This innovative training method will improve not only your first touch but will allow you to think one step ahead of the game. The lateral cone format simulates the choreography of the match and allows players to develop their first touch in game like situations. These exercises can be done by small or large groups with little down time or even by individual players who want to put in the extra time it takes to become a top player.

Playing without the ball - Prefect ball possession - Superb positioning   Presentation Group: U19 Schalke 04 Duration: 89 min. Presenter: Norbert Elgert (FC Schalke 04) Director: Peter Schreiner (Institute for Youth Soccer) Positional Play  In this 3rd part of The Art of Playing Attacking Soccer, it is all about the importance of good positional play as the basis for a successful build-up attack that always is indicated when a quick counter-attack is not possible. It is characterized by a safe build-up, either over the wings or through the middle.    Ball possession even under pressure The attacking team plays the ball into the attacking zone from its defensive zone through midfield and does so with well-executed pass sequences. The most important quality for this to be successful is the ability of the whole team to keep ball possession even under intensive pressure by the opponent. Ball possession is no guarantee for a win, but it allows to dictate tempo and rhythm and above all, to force the opponent to do a lot of running.    Positional Games Top teams have an almost prefect ability to retain the ball no matter what the circumstances. To acquire this ability, small and large positional games should be included in practices.     In this eVideo you can see how Norbert Elgert has his team go through preliminary passing exercises and positional games in order to put pressure on a well-organized defense. It is very important to apply exercises and game variation properly and to communicate clearly what is to be learned.    That is why there is a crucial emphasis in this eVideo as to how the coach interacts with his players: How do you correct your players? What do you emphasize? How do you motivate your players? What is your body language?

The role of attacking midfielders in overload creation and exploitation with the 1-4-3-3 – An analysis of Pep Guardiola tactics with Manchester City The role of the attacking midfielders in the 1-4-3-3 formation is very important. These two are usually key players in the 1-4-3-3 so they have to be top quality. Apart from their technical excellence, the attacking midfielders have to have high tactical awareness, as this will enable them to create situations in order to break through the opposition’s defensive organization. One of the situations which helps an attacking team to break through the opposition’s defence is the creation of overloads (numerical superiority). Creating overloads is of high priority for teams that aim to apply the principles of positional play. In this presentation, which includes detailed diagrams and videos, we will analyse the attacking tactics of Pep Guardiola with Manchester City and we will focus on how, through intelligent positioning, the attacking midfielders create overloads in specific areas of the field. Additionally, we will present how these overloads can be exploited by good decision making and appropriate combination play. In every tactical situation analysed, the opponents play a significant role, so they can’t be left outside of the context. That’s why in this project the reaction of the opposition is always taken into account so that players end up with the appropriate decision making. Finally, the animated drills are designed to train players in taking the right decisions by reading the reaction of the opponent as well as to help coaches apply these tactics to their teams, by simply adding or adjusting them to their own training sessions.  The overload creation and exploitation analysed can also be used in every possible formation by making the appropriate adjustments.

How to penetrate the opponents’ lines with the 1-4-3-3 formation – Finding a way to move the ball to the free space between lines according to tactics used by Guardiola, Klopp and Sarri The aim during the attacking phase is to create scoring chances and scoring goals. In order to achieve this the ball should be moved in specific areas of the field so that a final pass or a cross under good conditions can be made. Moving the ball to the desired areas can be carried out through different styles of building up. If positional play is chosen then short passing and gradual build up is used, whereas in case of direct play long balls are played. Finally, when mixed build up is applied both short and long passing is used. In this presentation which includes detailed diagrams and videos, we will analyse the tactics used mainly by Pep Guardiola and other top coaches like Jurgen Klopp and Maurizio Sarri. The concepts of space, of effective supporting angles and the types of passes (first, second and third line) used according to the situation, are analysed in detail. The focus is on how all the above can be used effectively in order for the attacking team to exploit the available space between lines. By this strategy the ball is gradually moved from line to line, with short and safe passing until it reaches the desired areas for creating scoring chances. The analysis is followed by animated drills to help coaches apply the tactics used to their teams, by simply adding or adjusting them to their own training sessions. The analysed tactics for penetrating the opposition’s lines is presented with the 1-4-3-3 formation, but it can also be used with every possible formation by making the appropriate adjustments.

Now Part 4 of our successful series “The Art of Attacking Soccer” is available as eVideo. In this excellent video production there is a complete new idea of designing drills: It is the combination of One-Touch, Combination Play and Soccer Specific Sprint Training. The main topics: Passing Accuracy, Sprinting Capability, One-Touch Combination Play, Soccer Specific Sprint Training, Combination Play in a Parallel Course, Soccer Techniques under Pressure of Time, Coaching the Details, High Repetition Rates, Pressure of Time due to Group Competitions, Effective and Varied Training, Passing Through the Gap into the Run, Quick Combinations. This eVideo „The Art of Attacking Soccer 4“ shows 40 new Drills for Passing and Combination Play (Continuation of the series "The art of attacking soccer 1 and 2".) In this new eVideo there is also an effective football-specific sprint training. You will see how to incorporate sprints into a one-touch exercise and how to pass precisely after an explosive sprinting. The complex training forms are easy to organize and versatile in training. They improve passing and combination play of your players, their group-tactical behavior and additionally their sprint abilities in the same set-up. Two factors are particularly necessary in the case of a counter attack or a game on ball possession: ​Accuracy of the passing even under time and pressure Sprint ability of the players. In both game philosophies, the players must therefore combine quickly and precisely and sprint to free spaces at the highest speed. Explosive sprints and a high ball speed are very important. 1. How can we train the precision of the passing under time pressure? 2. How to get the perfect combination play? 3. How to organize a football-specific sprint training

Soccer Awareness - One-Touch Mentality (Theory and Field session) The game is getting faster using fewer touches on the ball, which creates the need for quicker thinking; more intelligent movement off the ball; and better decision making players Soccer is a thinking game that begins in the head of each player. What is the link between the thinking process and teaching “A One Touch Mentality” to players? My main focus in training is the decision making process each player goes through to be successful. Important Questions: WHEN / WHERE / HOW / WHAT AND WHY. How often do you see the ball arriving at the players’ feet and he or she doesn’t know what to do next? You can almost hear their brains ticking over. The relevance of a learning a “One Touch Mentality” to the modern game. As the game gets faster, so is the need for players to master this VITAL innate ability because the game is getting faster using fewer touches on the ball, less space to work in as defensive tactics improve; which creates the need for quicker thinking; quicker moving; and better / faster decision making players. There are three types of youth soccer player: Those who don’t know what’s happening in a game; Those who know what’s happening but only as its happening. Those who already know what is going to happen next. In his online seminar Wayne Harrison talks about: The relevance of a learning a One Touch Mentality to the modern game The Decision Making Process The Skill Factor - When? Where? How? What and Why? Continuums “Look and Think” Model of Development One Touch thinking and “Movement OFF the ball” - How do they relate?
