Fullback Stops Short — Winger Overlaps from Inside
A role-reversal wide attack where the winger begins inside and the fullback receives underneath. Instead of the fullback overlapping, the winger curves outside beyond the fullback to receive in the crossing lane.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Use a 24x20m wide channel toward a full-size goal with goalkeeper. The winger begins in the half-space, fullback underneath and 8 centrally. The fullback receives from the 8, stops short of the defender and releases the winger overlapping outside.
Coaching Points
Fullback holds position to draw the defender | Winger starts inside before running around | Release pass goes into space ahead of the runner | 8 remains available for an inside recycle | Box runners time movement from the winger's first touch wide
Progressions
- Add a tracking wide midfielder who can follow the winger's overlap.
Regressions
- Use passive pressure and rehearse the role-reversal timing.
