Outside-to-Inside Split Return — Fullback Breaks Line, Winger Sets Across Pressure
A three-player passing pattern where a wide player breaks the first line, the winger receives with pressure arriving from outside and sets the ball back inside for a supporting midfielder.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Mark a 20x14m channel with an outside lane and inside support lane. The centre-back or midfielder plays through to the fullback, who feeds the winger ahead. A defender can recover from the touchline side as the winger sets first time inside to the third player.
Coaching Points
Break the line with enough pace on the first pass | Winger checks inside support before receiving | Set across the direction of pressure | Third player arrives on a different line | Move immediately after the set to support the next action
Progressions
- Make the winger one touch and allow the recovering defender to intercept the inside set.
Regressions
- Remove the defender and allow the winger two touches before the set.
