FB to play on shoulder of winger - can we see you

8 to play on inside shoulder to create gap for ball to winger or to receive and turn

If the CDM is screening pass into the winger, can we see 9 or far-side

Coaching detail

References:

9s - narrow off (inline with 6 yard area) - prevent central passes - bait passes into CBs.

Wingers - get inside line of 18yard, judge distances between ball and opposition fullback, keep him in front of you.

1 x CM - act as a 10, go in all the way with their CDM, prevent him getting on the ball.

1 x CM - our base CM stays in front of our CBs, Creating the overload centrally.

If ball travels to one CB - 9 Sprints out to apply pressure, cutting off central pass, curve run.

Opposite 9 drops in to keep central areas overloaded.

Tempt pass into nearside opposition fullback, our winger presses aggressively when ball travels (judging distances) can we win the ball, can we force the mistake, make them play backwards or into danger?

Far side winger narrows off, gets ball side, in with their opposite CM player.
