Our main goal will be for the centre half to take the ball and either transfer it to the right half or play our left half. Our screen will be there to deflect a wall pass and creat options on the left channell or be a divergent and be a fake pocket that will leave the ball for our drop center foward who can hold up the ball and look for our right link or lefty link moving into space.
Our midfiled is aggresive and energised so we want to encourage balls going to the screen so they can maximise the vertical pass looking forr the striker options and then the outside links stepping through.
