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.
