2v2/3v3 with small goals — Football Drill

Defending, 1 vs 1, Passing, Small-Sided Games, Transitions

2v2 or 3v3 small-sided game with small goals and no goalkeeper. When the team loses possession, transition immediately into defending: the first defender presses the player on the ball, the second covers and the third provides balance.

Quality Factors

The team defends together: the first defender delays and shows, the second supports in depth. The shape stays compact.

Key Questions

• How many seconds does it take before you defend after a loss of possession?
• Who presses first? Does everyone know that?
• Is one of you providing depth or are you on the same line?
