Forward Runs to create and exploit space

A coach has to observe the following (coaching points) (a)When possession is gained, check that the full backs are wide and open, that the strikers have pushed on and in contact and the midfield are creating space. (b) If the Full Back has the ball, observe the movement of the 1st striker to create space by coming short, the 2nd striker holds their position OR makes a diagonal run into the area vacated by the 1st striker. (c) Observe the passing priorities of the Full Back - Short/Long, Feet/Space (d) Check the runs of the midfield to create space for foward passes - the nearest spins out, the farthest drops short. (e) Exploit space in front or behind the defence
