Animation: Build-up play and shooting in 9v9 with passing gates
On a half-field, place a large goal at the midfield line, as well as 4 gates on each side of the field using 4 cones (see animation). Then form 2 teams of 9 players with 1 goalkeeper per team.

The opposition starts and the objective for each team is to score on the opposing goal. However, they must pass through a gate on each side of the field before they can finish their action. After passing through at least 2 gates, players can finish on the opposing goal.

Used by Rafael Benitez during a training session in Naples, the objective of this opposition is threefold:
  • Work on the build-up play
  • Work on attacking movements
  • Work on the accuracy of passes
