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:
- Dropping on the returning number 10
- 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.
