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.
