Zone 1

Zone 1 Attacking

As FBs drive into Zone 2, if the Wing backs stay in the outside channel, in Zone 2/3 they are looking to receive the ball. If the ball is not played quickly, the Wing back should go into half space to give the FB space to Overlap. If Overlap is made, the Wingback must drop into the FB position, temporarily. It also gives the ST or CAM to show into outside channel, as they run in.

If the Wingback receives from FBs, CDMs, CBs or GK. Wing backs start in outside channel, looking to go into Half space. This creates space for FB to dribble into another zone. When they receive the ball, they are looking to get into zone 3 ASAP. Playing the overlap, breaking lines to the CAM or ST, or even combining with the CDMs to get the ball into attacking zones 3 and 4. These players need to attack with pace.

Zone 1 Defending

Squeezing into the width of the 18 yard box,10 yards above the CBS. dropping into a "flat 4" of a 1-4-4-2. The Wingbacks need to anticipate when transition moments occur for defending, tracking, and covering opponent. Looking to always a tight line with the CDMs. Forcing play to the touchline, while also pushing the line up with the CBs.
