Player A of team blue passes the ball wide to player B. At that moment, player A of team red puts pressure on the players with the ball. Player B tries to make a cross pass back to player A, who can try and score. When player A of the red team can get the ball, he can score in the small goals on the opposite side (orange cones).
When a team scores, player C dribbles the ball and plays with the other two players against players A and B of team red.
Team blue:
Player A: try to find the space to quickly receive the cross pass from player B, before the defender can get the ball.
Player B: Don't wait for the defender to be with you before passing the ball back. When the defender does get to you, try and dribble past him to create space for a good cross.
Players A and B (fase 2): take position on both flanks to give player C multiple options to pass the ball. Players without the ball try to find the right space in front of the goal to receive a cross pass.
