Football: Picture 2

Description

1-2)

Target Plays into Midfielder who is marked and the passing line ot 10 is blocked by CMs so the second pass goes to the other CM who drops in to offer lateral support.

3 - 4)

As soon as lateral pass is played the CM must try and find 9/10 who is splitting the two midfielders as quick as possible who then sets the ball back to 10 or if 10 receives plays forward to 9 if possible. Outside Midfielders either go to support striker or pinch in depending on side while one CM goes to support strikers while one holds the midfield for balance.

5)
