The Possession-based Soccer Development Framework
My favorite part about watching the video was how crystal clear it was in the first half as to what Chivas’ identity was……possess the ball, and if you lose it, go get it back immediately! Simple game….when you possess the ball, you control the game. In the first half they compleyely dominated possession and the game. The 2nd half they weren’t as sharp and it became much more of a 50/50 game.
The pressing by the front 5 was awesome! I love how they let you play short on Goal Kicks and then they come after you with great organized pressure. The opposing team tried to play their way out, but they just weren’t organized enough to play out against that pressure.
I also loved having Brian mic’d and hearing his comments…..it was nice hearing him get frustrated at his team’s play just like we do ๐ .
Loved the video and would love more of them!
I know Gary is pretty adamant about sticking to the core drills that we’ve all received on this site, but I’m curious if he would approve this drill as a way to “mix things up” for the kids, yet it still hammers home the concept of “receiving across your body”?
