21 Principles OF ATTACKING
#1 • Finishing • Most important moment in soccer • Most difficult moment in soccer
#2 • Crossing • Highest percentage shot in soccer • Close range inside the 6, 12, 18
#3 • Runs • 7 Attacking Runs • Near post (FW) • Far post (FW early, OSMD late) • The 12 (FW early, ACM late) • Top of D (ACM) • Drop it run (OSMD) • Supporting Run (strong-side defender) • Blind side run (weak-side defender)
#4 • Spaces • The 7 spaces • 1st Space (checking strong side forward) • 2nd Space & 3rd Space (Diagonal CF or ACM) • 4th Space (ACM, DCM or weak-side OSMD) • 6th Space (3rd forward soft spot) • 5th & 7th Space (Overlapping OSMD or DF)
#5 • Patterns • Predictable series of passes • Possession progressions (5 or more) • Switching Patterns (Switch & Break) • Strong Side Patterns (2nd, 3rd, 5th) • Rondo Patterns (Multiple switches)
#6 • Priorities • #1 Space Behind (Go to goal) • #2 Find the Front (Set it up) • #3 Keep Possession to find #1 or #2
#7 • Decisions • Vision (seeing what is in front of you) • Awareness (seeing what is around you) • Sequencing (seeing the next play) • Selecting (the moment’s highest priority)
#8 • Improvisation • Turning a bad play into a great play • Escape and create greatness
#9 • Possession • 3 or more passes = possession • Setting the stage for the final pass • Finding the weak-side space • Making them chase, unbalancing them
#10 • 1v1 Cornerstone • Over 100 1v1’s per game • Be fearless taking defenders on • Beat your man to win a shot or cross
#11 • Attack from back • Break-out’s • 2nd Wave (Midfielders must get forward) • Breakthrough’s • 3rd Wave (Wing backs must get forward)
#12 • Shape • Proper spacing of players • Width, stretch, depth, angles, timing
#13 • Switching (SWPA) • Outside, inside, other side • Find the weak-side spaces • Find the weak point of the defense • Divide them, then conquer
#14 • Moves • Going forward off the dribble drive • One signature move per player • Blow by, scissors, touch by • MARGIN OF VICTORY
#15 • Techniques • Going backward & sideways • Keep possession moves • Step on it, cross-over turn, cut back • Defenders must own these moves…
#16 • Grinding • When the game is even, tied & equal • Battle up front until we breakthrough • Forward line vs. the defense
#17 • Taking space • Attacking the front of the defense • Drawing defenders • Pass before dribble mentality
#18 • Combinations • 2v1 play to move forward • Timing, Touch & Demand • 1v1 mentality to get forward
#19 • Creating Set Plays • Winning a PK, FK, CK or AT • Shield hard, step in front, quick move • Fall down when fouled (Diving)
#20 • Rotations • Switching around the back line • Techniques are the key • Makes us a more dangerous team • Sweeper & DCM are the key
#21 • Risks • Attacking mentality at all times • High risk = High % =High reward • Most AGGRESSIVE team will win
