- Players in numerical superiority must keep ball possession freeing the passing lines
- The three players in red will try to intercept the ball and bring it beyond the goal-line (carrying the ball across one of the goals)
- After three goals, players in red will switch role (and vest) with three players of the white team
- Three ball touches allowed for the players in numerical superiority who must keep ball possession
- Free ball touches for red players
- When each series ends, swap three players per team
- Add one more player (as a low vertex) to play a 6 vs 3
- Make the pitch bigger to transform the drill in a high intensity training session
- Give one point to the team in numerical superiority when the ball recovery is done within 5 seconds after its loss
- Give one point to the team in numerical superiority every time it makes 10 passes in a row without interception by opponents
- Incite players to free as many passing lines as possible for the ball-holder, paying attention to body orientation and getting away from markers while looking for free spaces
- Teach players to attack the ball-holder through a reasoned pressing, a team-organized pressure
- Verify that the technical gesture of the pass is effective, and accomplished with high intensity
- Verify the reaction to positive and negative transitions of both teams: it has to be fast (reaction, adjustment, execution)
