In the second part of his coaching course filmed exclusively for CV Academy, Rudi Garcia takes his players through more practices designed to develop their ability to attack through wide areas.

The session, filmed during his Al Nassr team’s pre-season training camp in Spain, begins with a warm-up taken by performance coach Paolo Rongoni and a passing practice led by assistant head coach Claude Fichaux. Garcia then takes over to lead an 11v11 game in which the focus is on an attacking team – set up in a 3-4-3 shape – trying to penetrate in wide areas against opponents set up in a 4-4-2 formation. The final practice of the day is a free game played from penalty area to penalty area, in which both teams are encouraged to employ the wide-attack principles coached throughout the day.

This is the second of two sessions Garcia delivered on the same theme. The first session is available to watch here.
