Scoring with passing patterns
Blueprints for versatile, dynamic offensive play
Square passes are out; attacking soccer is in! That’s been true at least since the last World Cup, when the most successful teams all played a very attack-oriented game. But building an attack and taking it all the way to the goal is no easy task, especially when the opposition is well-organized and already in formation. It can be done, though, and this article will show you how to build from the back, get through the midfield and set up your shot, all in the classic 4–4–2 formation.
Fun and games for a new season
Training guidelines and activities for technique, tactics, conditioning and motivation
In youth training, the top priority is to improve playing ability in age-appropriate ways. At the U10–U14 level, technique becomes an especially important aspect of this process. Techniques must be systematically taught and reinforced with the help of practice games. At the start of the season, coaches also face the challenge of integrating new and old players to form a real team. In this article, DFB coach Jörg Daniel will show you how to accomplish these and other training objectives with the help of engaging games and exercises.
The next match is always the hardest
Making the most of your pregame preparations
The second half of the season is well under way, and part of our job as coaches is to prepare our teams for the next opponent. Finding the right words to convey only the necessary information about the other team, choosing and agreeing on strategies and objectives for the match, inspiring the right attitude for the upcoming contest—these are challenging tasks that every coach has to face.
