Attacking combination play from defence
Execution
- Begin with the left and right central defenders making a long pass to the striker.
- The striker plays a short pass to the flank player on the left or right side.
- The flank player sends a deep pass to the flank attacker (number 11 or 7) in the weak zone on the opposite side.
- Simultaneously, the striker runs deep into that same zone.
- This creates a 2-versus-1 situation against the starting defender of the other team.
- The first team to score brings a new ball into play.
- Repeat the exercise so that all players in the team are involved.
