Training mini guide and tips - The day after

Training a defender .

This is Heitinga.


I made a lot of Press the play training so he has very high his defending skills.

I try again with this drill.


Disappointment – only 8% in 6 sets

Now I ‘m doing another experiment ,
I put Heitinga with 4 more players.


One is a 3* free veteran and the other 0token academy players, again with the Press the play drill.



Disaster
He gains only 6% in six sets.
The academy players won 3-4% and the veteran almost nothing.

Last, I put Heitinga in training with the Fast counter-attacks and Shooting Technique drills (where he has low grey attacking skills).
He gets 26% skills in 5 sets.
Impressive !



Is it worthy to spend extra greens so to improve those attacking skills in my defender ?
