Miguel Brunengo: Now we're going to do a 3 v. 1. Two v. 1 is good, but 3 v. 1 is even better in a game. So what we're going to do is, we're going to have two forwards, two midfielders with one forward and the defender, which would be me, marking the player. What we're going to do is a give-and-go and then a through pass. A lot of this stuff also happens in a game and this drill will help you demonstrate how to do this.

Let's get one guy on the orange there, one guy here, I will be the defender marking Haroun. What we're going to do is have him check to the ball, one pass to him, as the pass comes, you come across, OK. Let's go, we're going to have to make sure the passes are better. Let's try it one more time. Let's go. Let's try it from over here now, Shemini, OK. Same thing now, (it’s) very important to have one touch, it's much better to one touch. Good, let's do it one more time. Let's do it one more time, game situation, game situation, good. This is a very important drill because in a game you have 3 v. 1s. The objective of this game is to have the least amount of touches as you can and to go to goal quickly and this is a good to show the kids what you need to go to go to goal.
