Access more drillsGoalkeeper distribution and 1v2 duels with defender chasing
This highly dynamic drill starts with a goalkeeper's distribution followed by a series of 1v2 duels with a defender in pursuit, potentially evolving into a 3v3.
- Everything starts with a goalkeeper's distribution to the first player (A) who will control it and then lay it off to the goalkeeper.
- The latter will then switch sides by finding the second player (B) on the opposite side.
- B performs a directional control then dribbles within the first half of the field.
- Player A then positions as a defender, resulting in a 1v1 on the large goal against the opposing attacker.
- The third player (C) starts as soon as B has made their control and will act as a chasing defender. This results in a 1v2.
