Winger Pins, 8 Rotates Outside — Maintain Width Without the Fullback
A positional rotation on the flank where the winger starts high and wide, then moves inside as the number 8 rotates around the outside to replace the width.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Mark a wide lane and half-space. Start with winger in the wide lane, 8 inside and fullback underneath. After the ball enters the winger or 8, trigger the rotation: winger moves inside, 8 fills the wide lane and fullback supports below.
Coaching Points
Width must always be occupied by one player | Rotation starts after the defender is fixed | 8 travels outside at speed | Winger moves inside to a different height | Fullback protects the space behind the rotation
Progressions
- Add two live defenders who can switch marks during the rotation.
Regressions
- Rehearse the rotation unopposed from a fixed passing sequence.
