The used area for the exercise is half of the regulatory pitch. Inside of the pitch place 6 attacking players against 4 ofensive players. The goalkeeper goes to their place.
- The objective of the 6 players is to create attacking actions to score goals or at least to try to overcome the 4 defenders

- Work on the reaction to the negative transition, once players lose possession, the closest player to the ball presses the opponent while their teammates get closer
- Work on the overall distance between players
- Work on the orientation of the body when receiving the ball, it should always be facing the widest part of the pitch
- Encourage the touch and go: After playing the ball with a teammate the player continues their race to then go into an empty space where they can receive the ball again
- Minimum ideal unity: The player that possesses the ball must always have a minimum number of teammates available that can guarantee him a pass at any moment
- The player that is the closest to the one that possesses the ball must choose what to do, an approaching or in depth movement
- Encourage player to execute the counter movement for unmarking and the consequente reception of the ball
- To accomplish a continuous mobility and keep the proper staggering, two close players that are on the same line, either horizontal or vertical, must move, creating diagonal game lines
