Attacking Run 4

Coaching Points:

Both Forwards push up against back four when the team brings the ball up the field.
Wide midfielder creates space and opens up a passing channel by taking his marker inside the field. He times his run the attack the back post.
Right back plays an “in-swinging” pass down the wide channel for the 1st Striker to run onto. Ball must be “curled” into the path of goal.
1st Forward makes run across the defender and into space in the wide channel. He can either cross the ball, shoot or lay ball back to right back if he is under pressure.
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.
