Description

A long tutorial on making runs: when to send a player, when not to, and how to create advantages off the ball.

Gravesen teaches us the virtues of making runs to get unmarked, in which situations to do it, when it's not convenient, etc. This fundamental tutorial covers the essential aspects of offensive movement: how and when to request effective runs, identify exploitable spaces, recognize situations where NOT to ask for the ball, optimize the timing of runs according to rival defensive positioning, and create numerical advantages through intelligent off-the-ball movement.

What you will learn

  • The timing of effective runs.
  • The situations where you shouldn't call for the ball.
  • Spotting usable space in the opponent's defence.
  • Creating advantages with off-the-ball movement.

Who it is for

For players who want to understand attacking movement in depth.

When to use it

In the build-up and the final third, when you're looking for space in the opponent's defence.
