A model to develop players able to dominate 1v1

The document outlines a training blueprint focused on developing players' ability to execute effective moves and turns in one-on-one situations, emphasizing the importance of mastering universal moves and adapting them to individual player identities. It highlights the significance of situational training, offensive priorities, and the gradual introduction of complex techniques under pressure to enhance decision-making in game scenarios. Additionally, it stresses understanding age variability in player development and the necessity for tailored coaching to maximize potential.

The 1v1 model Moves and turns to create an advantage A blueprint to develop players capable of dominating any opponent
The universal moves The specific moves The directional moves Executing all moves efficiently in the game Jonas Munkvold, 2018
Specificity Ball mastery with the game as the reference • The universal moves must be mastered by all players and be the foundation for the specific ones – but also they must be applicable to the game • The position dependant moves is not a blueprint – but a draft, each player is different and might benefit more from a different move • The moves must be applicable to the players identity and position • ‘What situations is this player likely to be in?’
Specificity What do 1v1’s look like in the game • Ronaldo • When the attacker is facing the defender • The traditional 1v1 exercise set-up – however only 30% of game situations • Hazard • When the defender is approaching from the side or behind the attacker • The most common in game, and undervalued on the training ground Key: Practise what matters. A concept inspired from Saul Isaksson-Hurst and his insightful mypersonalfootballcoach.com
Expanding the toolbox • We can to a certain degree anticipate the situations our players will face frequently • By this document we aim to provide players with the ability to execute effective decisions in these situations • Learning these moves and turns must give players a basis to create any moves functional in any situation • Training must therefore not be limited to executing the action, but to repeat the situation frequent and with high quality
Offensive priorities What is the team objective in possession of the ball? 1. Can we score? 2. Can we assist? 3. Can we assist the assist? 4. Can we get into key areas? Recommended authors on this topic: - Raymond Verheijen - Jed Davies These have done great work to give football actions an objective framework
Offensive priorities How do we want to penetrate – but be aware of risk/reward 1. Dribble or running with the ball 2. Short pass 3. Long pass
Common Misconceptions about technique In football: a functional execution of a decision In gymnastics: an ideal execution of the execution • Neymar, Coutinho and Mane are all wide players yet execute their decisions in their own unique way – and that’s good. • Had there been one ideal way of executing moves and turns it would be predictable and inefficient. • These three players have all discovered and learned how they should dribble based on their abilities, genes and football ID. • Each player must be guided to discover how they could execute the moves more efficient. Not ‘taught’
Content Overview Position specific example Step 1-4 with session examples Age considerations
‘V’-move Pull-push ‘V’–move Pull-push ’L’–move Julian Weigl La Croqueta Kroos Julian Weigl Lukaku Alexis Sanchez La Croqueta ’L’–move Alexis Sanchez Guideline Seven moves Three turns Universal Body feint Cruyff Stop start Hook Willian Mbappe Alexis Sanchez Martial 360 pressure Pressure behindDef block in front Side-line, def. in front
THE CENTRE BACK Moves  Body feint – Moving your body (often feinting to one side) to unbalance the opponent  Stop start – Stop the ball after moving in a direction, wait for the defender to stop or slow down then accelerate past  ‘V’ move – Push the ball forwards then drag back and out to the other side forming a V in the ground  Pull-push – Pulling the ball towards you, then pushing it away Turns  Cruyff – Using the inside of your foot to turn away from pressure  Hook – Stopping or changing the direction of the ball using the inside or outside of your foot The Best in the World
Step 1 • The player must master the universal moves in isolation. • Depending on age/level the positional techniques can also be introduced. • You’re asking the players to do something they cannot, so be patient! • Every player learns at different speed, comparisons are useless at novice levels Key coaching points: Exaggerate movement Change of pace and direction Master every move both ways Homework!
Ball mastery Universal skill training day 1/2 • Short touch/long touch • Rapid movement out of feint • Exaggerate movement • Visual scans • Appropriate tempo • Both feet! Turns and moves: o Body feint o Fake shot and turn o Drag – Pull o Inside/outside hook o Cruyff o Juggling and receiving o Penguin (inside-inside) o V – move 1 (one leg at the time)
Step 2 • The player must be able to master the relevant (universal and positional) moves in a high tempo in random orders. • The execution of the technique is the focus, however the coach is encouraged to provide some tasks/distractions to test the players ability to execute the techniques as a tool to solve a given task. Key: Better tempo Better quality More external ‘pressure’
Ronaldo box Universal 1v1 training • Body feint before receiving • Rapid movement out of feint • Exaggerate movement • Timing of visual scans Red: Points for winning the ball and dribbling out of any side of the box Blue: Points for dribbling out of the box on either short end Rules: 1. Red passes to blue 2. Blue dribbles out on either side 3. Progression: blue receives facing side, but can only score behind the opposite line
Hazard box Universal 1v1 training • Body feint before receiving • Rapid movement out of feint • Exaggerate movement • Timing of visual scans Rules: 1. Red passes to blue 2. Blue dribbles out on either side 3. Progression: blue receives facing side, but can only score behind the opposite line Red: Points for winning the ball and dribbling out of any side of the box Blue: Points for dribbling out of the box on either short end
Step 3 • Player must be able to perform these moves under modified pressure • The task becomes the focus, the technique the execution of the solution to solve the task • Must be able to receive: • Under pressure from behind/side/front • Ground/aerial • Long/short • Optimal W/R ratio in most 1v1 activities is 1/4 Key: Variation and unpredictability
Julian Weigl Role training • Body feint before receiving • Body between ball and def. • Change of speed/direction • Timing of visual scans Red: Points for turning and scoring in a mini goal (representing team-mate) Blue: Points for winning the ball and dribbling past red line Rules: 1. Red 6 moves freely in the far side half of the circle. Blue 8 starts outside 2. 5 starts anywhere behind red line. Initiates drill by taking a diagonal touch 3. Blue 8 can press as the pass goes 6 8 5
Step 4 • Player must be able to perform these moves in an intensive 1v1 game or duel. • Player must recognise in-game situations that can be solved efficiently by these moves, then he must chose and camouflage his decision up until executing it. • The player must master the execution of the moves to execute the playing style at a good level. Key: Challenge against better players Practice in tighter spaces
Ronaldo Rugby Small sided game – 3v3 • Exploit poor cover (2D) • Draw pressure, penetrate or release • SPB • Timing of forward movement Rules: Any attacker in front of ball carrier is in an offside position Coaching recommendations: Coach defenders first to ensure realistic situations for attackers 1A 1D 3D 2D 2A 3A 1st attacker Before receiving
Age considerations There are huge individual differences in any age group, remember that everyone matures In their own speed • Overly relying on chronological age will reinforce a bias towards the early developers, even though we know those enter puberty later often have potential to become better. • These ages are therefore to be seen as mere guidelines, rather than strict rules. You as the coach need to individualise the programme of each of the players at your disposal to better contribute to the players development. • Early engagement in the sport is recommendable as it gives the player more time to develop their understanding of the game, functional techniques and the specific coordinative ability needed to play at a high level.
The last word • The player should master the turns and moves: • in 11v11 under high pressure and • in an overload situation in training with reduced space or other constraints • The player must be able to recognise the situations where it is appropriate to use these moves and how they can tweak them to further gain an advantage from the situation
