Double Run Behind Fullback — First Decoy, Second Receives
A wide attacking pattern where the first runner attacks behind to pull the fullback deeper and a second player then enters the newly opened lane to receive.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Use a wide channel with a ball carrier inside. The winger makes the first run behind the fullback as a decoy. As the defender drops, the supporting fullback or midfielder makes a second run into the space outside or inside the defender for the pass.
Coaching Points
First run must threaten the space behind | Second runner waits for the defender to react | Avoid both runners using the same lane | Ball carrier keeps both options visible | Accelerate immediately after the passing lane opens
Progressions
- Add a covering centre-back who can pass the runners on and protect the inside channel.
Regressions
- Use a passive fullback and rehearse the two-run timing pattern.
