The right No. 6 opens to the right center-back (CB).
Just before the ball reaches the right CB, the right midfielder (RM) starts at high speed towards the center, and the right full-back (RB) sprints along the line into the free space. The CB plays a lofted ball into the path of the RB.
The RB takes the ball towards the goal line and crosses into the center.
Meanwhile, the strikers cross, and the left No. 6 starts centrally towards the penalty spot.
The right No. 6 moves into the center and provides cover for second balls or counter-attacks. Then, the left No. 6 starts the exercise on the left side.
Tip
Coaching Points
Pay attention to timing.
Ensure clean lofted balls.
Emphasize clean ball control and dribbling.
Lift heads just before the cross.
Strikers and No. 6 should not start into the box too early.
