It’s been a busy couple of weeks at MPDS with alot of people getting in touch about getting booked in for sessions. I have been delighted with the response and to hear some of the feedback. More importantly, it’s great to hear that players have been trying some of the content worked on in the sessions back at their clubs in training or games.
The latest reel highlights some examples of the work we have been doing so far from a technical point of view and then how that can be applied to a game situation:
⚽️ Ellie, a central midfield player, in video 1 is receiving a pass from a centre back or goalkeeper, back to goal and how to get away from pressure.
⚽️ In video 2 we look at how Ellie checks for and moves into space, opens up on the back foot to break a line with a pass forward (in this case to goal).
Other examples we highlight come from:
⚽️ CJ, a forward, where we work on movement to lose a defender to run in behind and finish at goal.
⚽️ Shay and Kaydey, wide attack minded players, with moves to beat an opponent (step over). The first touch required and then the skill to go past the opponent and finish to goal.
⚽️ Finally Cory, a defender, who was working on his first touch leading to distribution out of defence. Dropping off the game initially to give him space to receive a pass before breaking a line with a pass forward. The second scenario looked at playing quickly around a striker press to play forward.
If anyone would like further information or to be booked in for a session please feel free to get in touch⚽️
