One of the CM makes a run to the edge of the box to be an option for a cutback.

Penetrating Through Central Areas (Up, Back & Through)

The CMs (6) & (8) can attempt to drag the opponents out of position by moving into slightly wider positions in the Left and Right Half space.
As there is now space left by the opposition in the central area, the CB (5), can look to be more Direct and play into the Strikers (9) feet.
This movement will drag the CB (Red 5) forward, leaving space in behind.
As this ball is moving, the CM (6) makes a run on the blindside of his marker.
The Striker (9) plays a set pass to the CM (6).
As this pattern of play is happening, the Winger on that side (7), makes an Out to In run on the blindside of the opposition Fullback (3).
The CM (6) plays a pass in the gap between the opposition CB and LB.
RW (7) should take a positive 1st touch before finishing.

Play Over the the Opposition: (In Behind)

In this scenario, the CM (8) and LW (11) drop deeper to look to receive, this is also creating space in behind.
The Striker (9) looks to exploit this space by making a run in front of the CB and then in behind the space left by the RB.
The CB (5) should look to play a more direct aerial ball in behind the defence into the striker, who looks to control and finish.
