Our visual playbook for learning how every position connects—from starting the attack to creating chances out wide.
01 — VIDEO PLAYBOOK
Watch the full movement, then replay it and focus on one position. Notice the player’s body shape, passing angle, timing, and next action.
PRINCIPLE 01
These are different choices for different moments—not a ranking. Read the pressure, see what is open, and choose the best way forward.
01
When the outside is open, move the ball away from central pressure and help the right midfielder receive facing forward.
01B
The same option from a game-level view. See the team’s spacing as the ball moves from the back into the wide channel.
02
When the direct route is open, recognize it early and attack the space before the opponent can recover.
03
Use the CDM only when the middle is open and the pass is safe. Losing the ball here is dangerous because the opponent is already in front of our goal.
PRINCIPLE 02
Use width to stretch the defense, create space inside, and give the player on the ball more ways to attack.
05
Stretch the field with the wide player, connect the pass, and move forward together as one unit.
06
Focus on the passing angles and how the team uses the full width of the field.
07
Find the wide player early so they can receive with room and attack the defender directly.
08
See the timing of the pass, the attacker’s first touch, and the support around the duel.
09
Even when space is small, quick support and sharp movement can open the outside channel.
