Two blue defenders play a pass out to the 3 white attackers and immediately press.
3 attackers take on 2 defenders and look to create an opening and score.
After goal/attack breaks down, the white right winger in yellow box then attacks down the wing to create a 4v2.
After that move ends, left winger then does the same to create another 4v2.
Encourage smart movement from attackers. In 3v2, use width and penetrating runs.
Want to see an attacker gamble in the box when wingers are involved. Wingers try to cross low and across the face of goal for a player attacking the goal.
