A little extract from Nick Cowell's "Tactical Periodisation" chapter:

• Balance between recovery & game model coaching
• SSG's (Small-sided Games) offer coaching opportunities while minimizing risks of excess effort (leading to muscle damage)
• Short duration
• Simple

#MUFC's dynamic warm-up: approx. 170 metres run to next module station.

9v2 rondo: faster decision-making, more surfaces of both feet used, more wall passes (third man combinations) to play between opponents.

Rondo session of 4 minutes.

Dynamic stretching:

• Hamstring muscles
• Upper leg adductors
• Quadricep muscles
• Acceleration exercises

Goalkeepers' preparation & drink break (1')

Final third circuits drill: wall passes (as in the rondos) and as in #MUFC's staggered lines in final 3rd.

• Back to goal, turn & shoot
• Two wall passes
• Box movement (occupation of front, back, middle of goal) from high and low crosses (2v1 overlap in wide areas)

Small-sided game: GK + 10/10 + GK +1 (Fred)

• Smaller pitch:
• Faster decisions
• More actions
• More transitional moments

• Blue half-way line = reference point for high line
• Team in possession +1 (Fred)

• 4-2-3-1 formation

Final module:

• Direct free-kick training
• Pogba box entries from deep
• Some stay late to practice skills
