Structure:

3 attackers and 2 defender are placed in the 23m area to make a 3:2 situation. One defender is place in front of the box to put pressure on the ball. This defender favors the ball side as the exercise goes on.

Players A and B placed on the each side line in line with the halfway line. 

Player A gives a wide pass to player B. Player B tries to play one of the three attackers. Once one of the attackers receive the ball they try and link up with others and play a 3:2 towards goal.

Then player B plays a wide pass to player A, and the same thing happens on the left.

If player B or A do not have a pass through, they may trough it back to player A or B.

Pointers:

 - Attackers try to move into space and make sure tha they provide the ball carry a open passing line

- Always try to have a player receiving the ball deep

- Provide an explosive lead towards where you want to receive the ball

Variation:

+ Add a third defender 3:3

+ Player A or B and the defender closest to them joins in making it a 4:3 or 4:4
