Gk positions to play L or R, hard pass to front foot, 3 & 4 open up, hold the ball to bait the 9, play ball back to Gk in direction of the next pass, GK play pass into 3 & 4 into the depth to break a line and put 9 behind them and enter into the MF to create 2v1 with 10. 6 supports diagonally on opposite side of 3 or 4, beat the 10 of the opponent and dribble/pass into 1 of 3 goals.
