5v2, One Touch

This is a very common way to start training and serves as a pre-warmup ritual to get the mind ready. 5 players attempt to keep the ball against 2 defenders using only one touch. Anyhow, Germans play this at full intensity and hold nothing back - two foot tackles, fish hooking, eye gouging, etc. The other day a player got kicked in the face by one of the defenders and ended up with a broken nose. To reiterate, this was before warm-up had even started.

Just another 5v2 casualty.
