1 & 2 touch 3rd man run wide attacking pattern, linking wide horizontal units with midfiel units and striking units.

The practice starts with player 1(LB) playing a pass to player 2, player 2 takes a touch, then passes the ball to player 3 who can also choose depending on time avaliable to take a touch or pass 1st time into player 4. Player 4 player 4 'SETS' the ball back into player 3 who has now changed their angle for a better through ball angle into player 2. Player 4 now spins off their marker ans makes a run to the box for a finish. 1 touch finish in the box or a 2 touch finish outside the box

off ball movements: when player 1 gets posession of the ball player 2 'stretches the pitch' by making a short run behind their marker then coming back infront of their marker to receive the ball. this movement creates better space to receive the first pass and also gets the attention of the defender provoking them to get a little closer leaving space in behind them.

As the ball travels to player 2 player 3 must make small run inside the pitch ( between the yellow spot markers and back to revieve the ball from player 2. after playing the ball to player 4, player 3 moves again to make a better angle to 'THREAD' the ball through a potentially tight space.

as player 2 receives the ball, player 4 starts a traingle movement behind their defender to create space to receive the ball from player 3 and 'set' the ball off before spinning off to finish.

progression
