A) Opposition are attacking down the left wing. 8 is running at 2. 

3 has seen the danger and is dropping towards the centre in case backup is needed.

6 is staying close to 9 but is ready to step in if 8 beats 2 (3 will cover his central area)

B) 2 wins the ball from 8 and immediately attacks the space in front of him.

C) 2 engages Red 5 who is forced to leave his mark (11) and space opens up again. 11 and 8 are calling for the ball. 11 should not attack the space in front of 8 but go wide instead.

D) Red 5 is blocking the danger area in front of goal, so 2 must choose a pass either side to 11 or 8

E) 2 sees that 11 is not marked and passes into his space. 11 could engage the goalkeeper or pass into the danger zone. 8 and 9 get ahead of their markers and move into the space in the danger zone.

F) 11 passes into the danger zone and 8 or 9 get a shot and a goal! All of the attackers, CM and RM are involved!
