Diagram 1 - Set-Up⢠Attacking (blue) positions four players in the central possession grid (35x25yrds) (preferably a CF, Two AM`s, One DM. 3 red defenders occupy this area also. In the two wide channels there is one wing player and one outside back. The attacking teams outside backs wait behind the playing area on their respective sides. When the ball is played into the wide channels, the attacking outside backs can step up to join in the play (if desired by the coach). Coach is positioned at the half way lines with the footballs. [Attacking Patterns football training session set up] Diagram 2 - Through Ball (Straight Pass to Diagonal Run)⢠After maintaining possession the attacking team is able to play a through ball penetrating the back line. Here the AM plays a straight pass to a diagonal run from the CF.[Central Combination Play] Diagram 3 - 1vs1 Winger Isolates⢠Get the football to an isolated 1vs1 wing scenario. Here the winger (Outside attacking midfielder) pentrates using individual skills running at a full back. This should certainly be a strategy when playing teams with weak outside full backs.[Outside backs getting forward into the attacking patterns] Diagram 4 - Diagonal Through Balls⢠Intelligent peeling runs and extreme width from the wide midfielders (wingers) can create large channels to play potential through balls. In this example we show a diagonal through ball as the result of good width and movement from the wide forward.[Diagonal Passing in Attacking Phase] Diagram 5 - Pinched Forward Runs⢠Inside runs and movement from the wide forwards means the defending teams full backs maybe become occupied with more central positions. When this happens the attacking full backs can take up more advanced positions in the channels that open up on the wings.
