Soccer drill: attacking ruit in midfield.

Suitable for the following techniques: attack

Attacking Ruit in midfield.

  • Starting in circle center line.
  • Number 10 offers but chooses which side.
  • Other players must therefore pay close attention. Depending on that choice, we assume left at green hat or right at orange hat.
  • In this example the green hat is on the left.
  • Number 10 offers and passes the ball to number 6. He immediately passes to the right sacked striker.
  • At the moment the sagging striker is played in, the other striker begins his run.
  • The striker again has a choice:
    1. Dropping on the returning number 10
    2. Immediately play into the flank.
Continued if choice 1:
  • Number 10 pokes the flank midfielder away by a deep pass towards the corner.
  • The other flank midfielder starts his run to eventually end up at point 16, about the time the cross is going to be delivered.
The crosser then has 3 choices:
  • First post -> run-through 'cross' striker.
  • Second post -> passed flanker
  • Edge 16 -> runaway sagging striker
Continued if choice 2:
  • The sagging striker plays the ball tightly into the feet of the midfielder trapped on the touchline. The midfielder is then left with two options:
    • A stab pass to the crooked second striker who has run out behind the sagging striker.
    • An early cross toward the far point 16, here the other midfielder connects and lays the ball wide to the striker.
