    Help me please. Recently someone gave me the great idea of using scenarios in my football coaching (for a U16 team). To demonstrate what I mean, here's a recent example:

    2 equal teams.
    14/10/17 - Watford vs Arsenal
    It's the 70th minute, Watford are 1-0 down and have a penalty.
    Can Watford win the match with 20 minutes to go?

    Then I can impose conditions on it (such as the team playing as Watford have a target man, the team playing as Arsenal have to play 6 passes before they can shoot etc).

    or

    13th May 2012.
    Man City vs QPR.

    QPR have had a player sent off (so team playing as QPR have a player less). Man City trailing 2-1 with 25 minutes left. Can you win the league?


    The more historic and well known the match the better!


    Anyone got any ideas? Much appreciated!

    Man throws himself to the ground to win a dodgy penalty, he takes it himself to score to get to Wembley the other lot are prepared for a save a break away to score down the other end. I can't think of any specific match where this has happened so use your imagination, if your imagination fails you, try asking those nice people on foxestalk.co.uk

    Watford 4-3 Bolton

    Watford 3-0 down with about 20 minutes to go...still can't believe we won that.

    Non Watford - CL Final Manure 2-1 Bayern Munich.

    United 1-0 down in the last minute

    I did think about including that one, but there's about 1 minute left and requires the GK to save the penalty which is pretty hard and *too specific* and time limited really!

    Forgot to say i'll be doing this with ages U11-U17, so the bigger and well known the event the better to help their imagination!

    It's 1999, you're 1-0 down in the European Cup with minutes left. How can you must best use of set pieces and score two goals?

    How many goals can the Germans put past Brazil in their own back yard?
    You could stick a child in a big frizzy wig and have him roam around the pitch not doing his job defensively for tree Brazilians.

    The Barca v psg second leg from last season too.

    Under 16's you say?

    Tie cables to their legs and connect these to a huge hand controller. This will recreate the football world they are familiar with.
