Coach plays long ball for 1 v 1 situation. Defender has the advantage in positioning as they sprint back. If defender is first to the ball, they pass back to keeper who takes a first touch to the side and passes to the other back on the other side. If the attacker is first, he goes for a shot on goal. The back should not be stopping and turning in a situation like this with a man on him. We need to use the momentum of the situation to make the easy pass to the keeper who has great perspective on the field and can switch the field.
