Michael Carrick’s Manchester United doing the SAME drill to focus on: pass-and-move, play one-two, take a positive first touch, and keep the right weight on the pass.
We’ve seen this help in ball progression + breaking opponent’s lines faster (last season + preseason).

Dimensions: 16(W) x 18(L) Yards

A high intensity positional possession practice focused on combination play, structure and aggressive counter pressing during moments of transition.

🔥Liverpool Football Club training this week, an insight into a transitional setup under Andoni Iraola🔥

Dimensions: 18(L) x 36(W) Yards Each Zone

The practice is a continuous 5v4 Transition Game! 🔴⚽

✅ Constant attacking and defending transitions
✅ Exploit the 5v4 overload
✅ Fast positive passing and support runs
✅ Intelligent movement in the offside zone
✅ Immediate reaction when possession changes
✅ High intensity football conditioning
The ball never stops. The players never switch off. Every pass, run and decision matters and it's highly demanding physically.
