Simplified situation from the Barça academy: the defender passes to the attacker and steps out to press; the attacker must read the defender's position and score in one of two mini goals on a 20x15 m area. Take-on, change of direction and decision.
First-touch exercise from the Ajax methodology: two players inside a box receive from the outside lines, take an oriented touch and play forward through a gate. It progresses until the coach calls the colour of the gate the ball must go through.
Two players wait with their backs to the coach; on the signal they turn and sprint to the ball the coach has played in. First to the ball attacks the mini goal, the other defends. Reaction, acceleration and a duel in one action.
Waves of three attackers against two defenders from the halfway line towards a goal with a keeper. The player on the ball must decide between dribbling, passing to the support or to the runner depending on the defenders' reaction.
3v2 counter-attack on a half pitch with a defender recovering from behind. The attackers must finish quickly before the recovering defender evens up the duel.
1v1 duel in which the attacker tries to score past the goalkeeper while the defender, if he wins the ball, counters into two mini goals. Dribbling, decision making and transition in one action.
