One Attacker vs. Two Defenders

A goalkeeper and three field players position themselves on the field as shown in the diagram. The two blue players act as defenders, the red player as the attacker. The attacker has the ball.

The goalkeeper starts with a pass/throw to the attacker C waiting at the centre line. The ball-carrying attacker runs at defender B. He fakes dribbling alternately to the right and left. Player A covers Player B by mirroring C's lateral changes of direction. If Player B is beaten, defender A immediately engages Player C, and B covers A's back as quickly as possible, following Player A's lateral direction changes. The attacker tries to beat both defenders through fast-paced dribbling and situational use of feints to get a shot on goal.
