Action Pattern 1 

• Yellow GK starts the game and passes to either of his CBs number 2 or 3. As this happens blue 9 will go and press the ball. 
• Now we are looking to build up centrally. So can we get the CDM number 4 or CM number 6 on the ball. 
• That zone is a 3v1 rondo, can we get 3 sharp passes in the box before we play out. 
• From here we are looking to play wide to our 8 or 7 who should be in advanced wide positions.
• As the ball goes wide to our 7 canour ST 9 come accross and offer some support for a possible wall pass or one two around the defender
• The one two needs to be short and sharp to get the winger 7 in behind. 
• Now we are looking for the opposite winger 8 to get into the back post area  
• Our midfield players 5 & 6 to get into the box and our number 9 to be ready on the outside for a cut back 
• Number 4 also move up the pitch and is in a space i just in case the opposition break and he can prevent the transistion. He also can offer support from behind the ball
