Defense to attack in a 1-4-4-2.
Here the running forms of the attack and defence are important.
Form 2 of the 2 where the focus is on the outfielder 7/8 creates space for the 2/5 .
Here the 6 of the bb game is used to give the through ball
The exercise can be done without or with defense.
It is important that they do not play the ball directly on the 7/8 from the moment they own the ball.
First move the ball for some time between 3->4 4->5, where 5 gets up high as soon as the ball goes from 2 to 3.
When 5 receives the ball not directly to the 8 games but first back to the 4.
From 4 to the 3 and from 3 to the 2.
Let the defense get through the right running lines at the right time before they play the ball to the 7/8.
As soon as the ball goes from the 2 to the 7, pay attention to the correct running lines of the 7.
Creating space for the 2 is done by letting the 7 get into the ball and bouncing the ball to the 6.
After the bouncing from the 2 to the 7 the 2 have to make a running action in the depth.
The 7 plays the ball on the 6 that comes under the ball.
The 6 then plays the ball deep on the 2 with the 9 running to the first post, the 11 diagonally behind the 9 and the 8 around the second post in a line behind the 11 and 9.
10 comes on the 16 meter line and the 7 diagonally behind the 2.

Both players A leave with shoulder to shoulder until they're between the poles.
(1), They then accelerate around the pilon and go back to the stick
(2,3). Behind the stick, they go sideways over the hurdles
(4). Again they go behind the stick and accelerate forward to the stick that's the furthest away.
(5). Back to the other pole again
(6) to then get a ball played in from B
(7) on which A finishes on target
