Attacking Space

Run onto ball at speed.
All players to run genuine lines.
Strong ball focus.
A player hitting onto a pass at speed can cause issues for most defences. Players who do this into space can really break up a team’s defence. In almost all cases this requires the attacker to appear late, giving the defence no time to react. Prior to this the defenders may need to be set up. Players in varied positions or attackers running genuine running lines providing more than one option to the passer can help achieve this.
If the space is above the defence then the attacking player will need a strong commitment to the ball and anticipation to allow them to win the race to that space.
