Description

Two patterns, reading the player and the space, and three real situations: the Creative Run that punishes how your opponent defends.

The follow-up to “How to use Creative Runs”. The three Basic plan chapters: two patterns that come up in every match (the horizontal Creative to the nearest team-mate and the pass followed by a Creative for the player who passed it), how to read the player and the space before you trigger it, and three real situations with their solution: a low block, aggressive pressure on the ball carrier and a counter against few defenders.

What you will learn

  • Use the horizontal Creative to the nearest team-mate: if the defender follows, you move forward; if not, you play the pass
  • Pass to your CAM and send your winger diagonally into the gap between centre-back and full-back without giving up control of the ball carrier, as you would with Player Lock
  • Look before you trigger it: how much space there is between your player and their marker, and who is covering the space you are sending them into
  • Against a low block, send your CM diagonally between the centre-backs while the strikers pin them; against aggressive pressure, shield the ball and move the supporting team-mate towards the free side
  • On the counter, chain two Creatives: the first drags a centre-back towards the touchline and the second attacks the space they leave

Who it is for

For players who can already do a Creative Run but trigger it without looking, or do not know which one to use against each way of defending.

When to use it

When your opponent sits deep, presses your ball carrier aggressively or leaves you a counter against few defenders.
