Wing backs and wall passes..



The set up with a goal-kick .....



1 - Here the right wing back drops back to call for the pass from the keeper, which drags the oppositions left midfielder/winger with him, however hopefully the right wing back should of stolen a yard or two with this surprise run back....

2 - As this is happening the DM should see this as a trigger to react and shift across as pictured....

 The right wing back is now in possession, and should aim to turn either with a pivot turn or let the ball run across his body and open up.... Now if the opposition is pressing him, he must carry the ball forward however if he is under pressure, the FIRST wall pass is executed with the DM as shown, as soon as the ball is played the wing back needs to be pedal to the metal in over lapping the opposition as pictured. As in theory again the the opposition midfielder shouldn't be able to compete as he has to stop his running (from pressing) turn - then accelerate to catch up.... Whereas the right wing back just needs to accelerate.


Here the first WALL PASS is completed taking out the oppositions left midfielder, now with a clever run, slightly inwards from the wingback and a slight feint from the CM inwards. The oppositions CM should see it upon himself to abandon the middle to defend the threat being produced....
However this is the trigger to FREE up our CM.


- The second wall pass is now being set up... The Right winger again drops back to help taking with him the oppositions left back who will be marking him (as shown)
The right wing back passes to his team mate (RW) and again... pedal to the metal over laps and takes his place as a RW.


- The second wall pass is then executed between the RW and CM, but this time with the RW having dropped back and with it dragging their LB with him, Our Wing back now should be in the perfect place to receive a well timed through ball from our CM (as shown)



In short with a attacking wing back whose willing to get forward, and with as little as 5 passes! we can transition from having a goal kick to be in on goal or at least running through in on goal.
