The 5-Minute Football Coach #128

Two-touch warmup, Crossing and finishing practice, Marcelo Lippi

Hi there,

Hope you’re well! After a bit of a break, here’s your tips for this week:

⚽️ Warmup of the week

First, an effective way of practising a good first-touch and passing, in pairs:

Brent Van Snick @BrentVanSnick

⚽️🔥 My favorite passing & first touch drill for 1on1 sessions: Max 2 touches | Ball on the ground, between the gate | Who makes the first mistake? 👌 2on1 session with Lobke Loonen (Ex-PSV & Netherlands U21) & Bodil VDH (Ex-Ajax U19 & Netherlands U19) #techniektrainingVanSnick

🥅 Practice of the week

Next, this unopposed setup focuses on crossing & finishing. I’d probably start with the players staying in the same position for 2-3 tries, before rotating them:

💡 Idea of the week

Lastly, Marcelo Lippi on individuals and team building: “The teams which have a ‘we’ mentality will prevail”!

Hope you enjoyed this. Until next time!
