Play starts off with two players in the central area of the pitch, ball being played across to the second player triggers movement of centre midfield 3 to create angles to receive the ball. These players need to combine at a good tempo to slide one of the strikers in behind to score. Two players who started the practice move forward into midfield, two midfielders move forward into attacking areas.
