Warm-Up Practice - Movements to Receive

Part of our warm-up collection. This practice can be used for all age groups with any size ball.

Start with throwing the ball before moving on to passing.

The 3-4-3 Amorim system provides time on the ball in deeper positions and draws centre backs out of the defensive line.

Hojlund—this is his game. The system is perfect for him; he should make these runs all day.

Amorim:

"I am improving the way I should play Casemiro. I am not putting Casemiro pressing really high, our team is well connected, that is helping Casemiro, in short space he can understand where the ball is going. I understand better the characteristic of the players."

Inter wing-backs jump for more often than the centre-backs.

The last one on Man Utd (for now)

This tactical camera gives an image of how the 3-4-3 can be exploited.

They can't get pressure on the ball. Zirkzee has a 3v1, including the GK. If anyone jumps, Brighton can find an easy pass out.

The build-up to the winning goal.

The attacking transition has been a huge strength of Forest's play this season.

Control it, and it takes a huge strength away.

Liverpool have the firepower to sacrifice their full-backs and ensure they take care of the Forest wingers in the attacking phase
January 14, 2025 at 5:35 PM
At Anfield, from 60 minutes, Forest had numerous counter-attacking opportunities.

Nuno had sucked Liverpool into attacking with their full-backs with conservative, wide players, and then the subs (Elanga, Hudson-Odoi) changed the dynamic.
January 14, 2025 at 5:35 PM
Expect to see the Liverpool full-backs in a more conservative role.

Slot won't be caught out like this again.
January 14, 2025 at 5:35 PM
Forest went to Anfield and kept the dangerous counter-attacking wide players on the bench until the 60th min.

As the game opened up, they took full advantage.

Liverpool need to control these spaces when in possession. Forest are waiting to spring as soon as they win it back.

This leads to a Partey shot where Jesus follows in to score.

It's a goal Arsenal don't often score, creating in the chaos.

Brentford won possession three times from this situation, but the short counter-pressing spaces that Arsenal have created gives no chance of a Brentford counter-attack
January 3, 2025 at 11:06 AM
This was the case for the first goal.

Brentford can easily end up in a 7-3 or 8-2 formation when the 4-4-2 lines are so compact.
January 3, 2025 at 11:06 AM
Brentford played with the most compact 4-4-2 low block you will see all season.

The problem with it against top teams is that there is no escape.

Want to play short passes to link before springing the counter attack? Arsenal will steal the ball back immediately.

The Amorim system requires centre-backs to step out and mark. This is one of multiple examples where the back three mark no players or one

This leaves them outnumbered in central midfield and ultimately leaves the centre-backs to solve more problems close to goal

Slot's narrow structure as Liverpool look to create their attack

- Minimises counter-attacking threat
- Allows Trent time on the ball facing the opponent's goal
- Allows access to wide players for 1v1's
- Create a +1 on the opponents defensive line (against a back four)
