Playing out of the back in a 4-2-3-1 formation

www.WORLDCLASSCOACHING.com This video shows Wayne Harrison teaching a team to pass the ball out of the back using the 4-2-3-1 formation. All of our 4-2-3-1 videos are available at www.coachingsoccertactics.com/...

Thanks for posting this. Our team is growing and learning, and we appreciate this resource. We just started using the traditional number system, and we love how it has simplified things for our whole team- coaches and players. We have been doing this building from the back, but with 4-4-2. We like how you teach the 4-2-3-1. It makes sense. Thanks for your help!

[@125992]

Just found this video. Thanks Wayne for sharing. Keep up the good work!

[@shmilo16]

great video & great book!

[@wayneharrison3490]

Thanks to all the experts for your comments. I just met the girls 2 minutes before the session. Funnily enough my methods produced 7 National YOUTH Champions at PROFESSIONAL LEVEL. Must have just been lucky eh.

[@wayneharrison3490]

HI Feras, this is Wayne. Yes they struggled with it and I agree with you, but remember this was the first time they had ever done this and in a way it helped me to establish better the way it develops. Thanks for taking the time to comment on them though it shows you are interest which is what is important. Cheers Mate.

[@josevelasquez3160]

thank you mister, great video .

[@declanmurphy4052]

Strange how many people have criticized this video. For me, the concept and the principle of play were there and I am sure there are more videos that progress and build on from this. Thank you for the video I am sure many young coaches can benefit

[@futbolgk1]

FFS if the video is not up to your standards there are millions of others you can search on youtube. It's not as easy as moving cones when you got to explain and move teenagers into shape, especially in America which lacks a bit of football knowledge. On the bright side, Wayne, I've played the game for 17 years transitioning now from player to coach after being done playing in college in the states. Enjoyed the book and other videos loads, great information for up and coming coaches

[@wayneharrison3490]

Thank you Glen let me know a better way please or better still do a session and show everyone

[@hanmorgan1169]

thanks for this

[@jeppeny]

Question regarding who goes where, from defensive to attacking team shape and vice verse: When switching from defensive to attacking one of the defensive midfielders becomes the attacking midfielder whilst the one acting as the most offensive in the defensive team shape becomes a central midfielder. Shouldn't the the most offensive player in the defensive team shape also act as the most offensive in the attacking team shape? It's a long way back to find the defensive shield and formation again

[@ChucksterGram]

@ Feras, more girls playing football in the US, than any 3 European countries combined, plus the Women's National Team ranked #1 in the world with 2 Cups and 3 Olympic golds.Wayne said this is an advanced system, the 5000 clubs playing in America U18 and hav own terminology & styles of play. It is hard to get good results if you don't know the players & they don't know you. I used this with teams with mix results with his book and DVD's, I was brought up on 4-3-3 & then the 4-4-2 in the 1970's.

[@arsenalfanrichi]

The game is as simple as pass the ball to a player in open space, the point in tactics is to make finding that space and defensive organizing easier. If you're in a pocket of space 10 yards in diameter you can afford to have a bad touch. I enjoyed the lesson, It just confirmed what I've been wondering about essentially morphing into a 3-4-3 with the "6" as the coach called it turning into an extra defender. Now I'm wondering if there are any teams who pass the ball who don't use this formation and what the best Counter Formation would be?

[@wayneharrison3490]

I only had one hour to do the whole system of play but a good point to look at Hugo

[@archerbrecken5154]

A tip : you can watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.

[@cashcolby8299]

@Archer Brecken yea, I have been using flixzone} for since november myself :D

[@drc003]

You are correct that Barca plays a 4-3-3. However Spain, during their run of 2 Euro's and a World Cup were playing a 4-2-3-1. They both used a Tiki-Taka style but Spain's formation was 4-2-3-1.

[@jeaglejj]

Building up from the back with the sweeper is the famous Lavolpe tactic that Guardiola adopted from him, el Piojo is probably Lavolpe's best 'student'

[@graemeroe9391]

Wayne, why does Ozil 10 drop deeper than 8 in the defensive shape?

[@neilghosh3821]

a good formation to beat Barcelona!

[@tjwhalan]

6:50.... Your perfect!

[@wayneharrison3490]

Jesper, 6 becomes a sweeper in front of the center backs and 8 is the most offensive of the two. When we lose possession 6 becomes a sweeper behind the center backs and 8 drops into 6's position. Its really not so far at all to drop back.

[@BornAgainFitness]

Hi Wayne, I'm teaching this system to my U15 girls. So, when defending near our goal the 6 drops back to play sweeper BEHIND the line and 8 takes their spot in front of the CB's? Would both not remain central? Thanks for the video.

[@soosat1]

رائع

[@TheTay123456789]

Its Sergio Ramos. Arguably best defender in the world.

[@2929Samson]

is that a husker stadium

[@jonchenery3316]

Enjoyable video. Would like to point out that Barcelona don't play 4-2-3-1, and most probably never will. They play 4-1-2-3/4-1-2-2-1, if anything.

[@wayneharrison3490]

In just 2 years also.

[@ermalpula]

4 2 3 1 is my favourite formation, and he did a pretty decent job explaining the basic transition tactics. However, this formation was designed for top professional clubs in top leagues. This can prove devastating in youth leagues as they don’t have the same level of conditioning and the technical ability to execute in this formation. You should be very careful how you move numbers up front in the offensive state. You could get absolutely decimated on the counter attack..

[@cchurtado04]

I personally would have to disagree. My u-13 team doubled in points this season compared to last because of this formation. We went for 9 goals made and 32 allowed to 21 scored and 12 allowed. Everything changed once this formation was used

[@liceafilms]

@@cchurtado04 I have a U14 team that has no issues playing in a 4-2-3-1 and they actually do quite well too. 38 goals in favor, 10 against in 12 matches

[@Luimaster]

He says it all

[@Matty6660]

4:56 "centre back, who's the other one?" Ramos! Only the best CB in the world lol.

[@Ryannguyen1990]

real madrid - 4 2 3 1

[@owencox3522]

Liverpool??

[@sneakerhead721]

Forgot Chelsea

[@patrick60322]

why does this video have 11 hundred views but only one comment(not including me)

[@FahCFC97]

The coach messed up saying Barca play 4-3-3 so does the Spain NT. Arsenal play 4-3-3 as well lmao

[@zabzab1231]

Football is a simple game complicated by coaches like this guy

[@soccerawareness]

+zabzab1231 How would you do it smart arse

[@soccerawareness]

+Wayne Harrison What a shock you have nothing on your site you have produced either.

[@zabzab1231]

+Wayne Harrison Simples a full back drops short and gets the ball of the goalie then the play out from the back.I'm not a coach so I don't understand your other comment below.

[@rangersasc]

Bad idea son a full back should be higher up and the center backs go wider and if anything a defensive midfielder looks to drop in if they have to, you need width and depth i used to have my outside backs get out wide and low but it is harder to get out i fkd that up trust me.

[@zabzab1231]

What next choreographed football

[@herr_pouya]

This 100 000 viewers are here to know more about 4-2-3-1 formation system or wanna see those 11 beautiful girls ? :)

[@VigooIs14]

You can't even see the girls. Im here to build a football manager 2015 tactic lmao.

[@NIMSINS]

+_VigZZZ_ lol

[@ChucksterGram]

We between 14-16 million playing football in America registered in America age 6-21, the problem is we neither have our own style, nor are all of us on the smae page. We confuse ourselves and our kids with all these things. Plus none of our Pro-teams are truly connected to young development. SO, to say there is slow progress would be not the right thing to say, we have tons of progress, just so little direction.

[@coysking9646]

The idea was there but this was extremely unprofessionally executed

[@soccerawareness]

+CoysKing Why do you say that? Can you show me a video you have done that is better?

[@soccerawareness]

+Wayne Harrison I just went to your site NOT ONE VIDEO BY YOU??????? How come you are so clever ?

[@soccerawareness]

+Wayne Harrison Come on lets see your expertize ?

[@coysking9646]

+Wayne Harrison I guess someone can't take constructive criticism, was just my opinion

[@soccerawareness]

It wasn't constructive it was stupid. Unprofessional I am not. You obviously know nothing about the game. Don't tell me, your are an ex professional you have an A license coach? right?

[@duikui]

a little bit of enthusiasm would not go astray.

[@wayneharrison3490]

NO they don't

[@grego365]

Them poor girls!!

[@thegaffer9616]

Wayne Harrison - wow, I was scrolling through the comments to see where I could find the title of the book on this formation; however your replies are so hostile and aggressive I don't think I'll waste my money. You are obviously good at what you do but your attitude is disgusting.

[@HMAnetwork]

So confusing!

[@gaerwenjuniorsu8u108]

I see better 6 year olds and trained at a faster piace than that

[@delunadenny7084]

lame

[@greenfox6917]

Tactics seem ok but the delivery of the session was very poor, coaching temperament poor, lacked energy & failed to engage imo.

[@rachelicha]

Do yourself a favour and skip the first 3 minutes of this video. Unnecessary rambling...

[@soccerawareness]

+Rachel Chapman Hello Rachel can you show us how you would do it ?

[@soccerawareness]

+Wayne Harrison Don't see any videos by you Rachel where are they?

[@soccerawareness]

+Wayne Harrison You do yourself a favor and take up chess

[@klmapp287]

Bloody hell, did you see those girls when he asked them to get into attacking team shape. They had no idea where to go! Clueless! Slow progress it seems in the States.

[@futbolgk1]

Sadly, some people just think the game tactically is as easy as just pass to open player, shoot and score but probably have the touch of a rapist and cant even kick a football

[@jerryvalentine8883]

I thought soccer was played with the legs and not the mouth. Worthless.

[@jakewebb5371]

No it's played with the penis

[@soccerawareness]

+Jerry Valentine So Jerry send me your video showing how you would do it Im sure you are excellent

[@soccerawareness]

+Jerry Valentine Just went to your site Jerry nothing there to match your big stupid mouth

[@soccerawareness]

+Wayne Harrison You wont reply because you have no idea have you

[@Vlimar]

This is a horrible way to personalize this session. Calling your players by Spanish National Team players? Useless and ridiculous. And there are better ways to get the point across.
