about 16 ppl for training today. coach didn't come, so renyi helped out. he's an ex-nus player, currently coaching the nus girls' team, and some other college team i think... not sure lah.
started out with 2 touch possession football. half field. then we transited to 1 touch. then back to 2 touch.
4 key points:
- know where you're gonna pass before receiving the ball
- pass smartly i.e. not to a team mate who is surrounded by opponents
- short pass is good, but when it gets crowded, must 'thup thup thup, long ball' i.e. release from pressure
- train up on passing technique. sometimes idea is there, but execution is pangsai (chinese for faeces) want to pass to feet, make sure it's accurate. want to pass into space, make sure weigh pass properly.
then we went into two sides with one neutral team. about 5v5. free touch. 3 goal posts for each team, stop ball on the line.
key point:
this exercise was to train up attacking play. this means width (must open up when you have possession) and depth (must have players near and players far). don't be afraid to use the neutral players at the end of the pitch (see previous training's key point). don't always depend on individual creativity - some is good, but cannot last one... also look for the penetrative pass - passing into space behind an opponent for a team mate to run onto.
finished up with shooting practice, right and left foot, from the right and left sides of the penalty arc respectively. pass, lay, shoot. take turns. end of training.
