Pattern Play Attacking 4-3-3 Option 1

Option 1

1. RB looks up to play a pass forward, the CF’s run is the trigger to pass
2. As the ball is travelling to the CF the CM makes a run at full sprint

Key Points

1. The CM must offer a good distance from the CF so the CF has an angle to pass
2. The CM must keep his run between the opposition centre-back and full-back
3. The quality of the first pass is key to allow a one-touch pass for the CF
4. The RF must hold the width to be a wide option when the final pass cannot be made
5. The CM should angle his run so that he receives the final pass facing the goal
