Dominate your 1 v 1 contests from now on, whether you’re the defender or the attacker, with a little help from this drill, designed to teach you the skills of Barcelona’s stylish sentry
SET UP
Set out an area measuring 20 x 20 yards, with two mini-goals positioned at either end. Divide the players into two teams of three, with an extra player operating as a floater.
ACTION
Teams play 3 v 3 with the aim of scoring in either of their opponent’s goals. The floater
plays for the team in possession creating a 4 v 3 scenario. They’re not allowed to tackle or score, but they can give and receive passes. To progress, impose the condition that the
teams have to complete a certain amount of consecutive passes before they can score. You can also restrict the players to one- or two-touch football. Change the floater every two minutes.
HOW IT HELPS
All over the pitch there will be 1 v 1 contests, working both defensive and technical skills. Like Pique, the floater must join the play as an additional attacker, offering themselves as an option and having the ability to maintain possession.
