Attacking Run 3



Coaching Points:

  • Both Forwards push up against back four when the team brings the ball up the field.
  • 1st Forward makes run towards ball, receives the pass from the right back and plays a “one touch” pass behind the fullback and into space. After passing the ball the 1st Striker turns and attacks the back post area of the box.
  • The wide midfielder attacks the space behind the fullback and crosses the ball or attacks the goal.
  • 2nd Striker looks to attack the front post area of the box.
  • Right back must support wide midfielder and be the “release valve” if he is under pressure.
  • Timing is crucial.  
  • Remember - Space created, ball delivered, then the run.
