CFâs go to Kick-Off RM and LM start just outside of the circle on the half-way line. Both Full Backs are pushed up level with the CMâs Upon kicking off, one of the two center forwards starting dribbling towards the opponents goal. They should attack the largest amount of space which has been vacated. The other CF follows behind the path of the dribbler, until a defender has engaged them. Upon this engagement the second striker breaks off at an angle as seen in the diagram above. The wide midfielders start their runs from a central area and move out. Upon being confronted by the first defender the Center Forward which is dribbling can now do one of the following. > Keep Dribbling > Play in the second forward to then dribble towards the goal > Play in one of the wide midfielders. The remainder of the team needs to push up to keep the play compact.
