Finding the Winger

When we are building out of the back and we identify our Winger as the Free Man, it is most likely that we want to get them the ball.

This happens because of poor marking or the opponent who was marking our Winger has left them to press the ball carrier (our Center Back).

Our Decision Tree provides the Center Back with 3 preset solutions in order to find the winger:

1. Passing to the Winger directly (recognizing the 2v1).
2. Combining with the Center Midfielder to find the Winger.
3. Playing the Striker who then drops the ball off to the Winger.

In the video below, John dissects these 3 different solutions.

Notes:
We explain how all 3 of these solutions are broken down and trained in our Build Out Games Module, and how they are rehearsed in our Pattern Module.
