🔥 Improving Final Third Combinations - 11 v 11 | 07-P14

This 11 v 11 practice unfolds on a full-sized pitch, developing build up and final third combinations. The attacking team, in a 443 formation, faces off against a defending team in a 352 setup. In the initial phase, a 6 v 4 situation challenges the possession team to create space and deliver a penetrating pass to their CDM (Blue 6). Once penetrated, the CDM advances to a 5 v 3 zone, aiming to combine and release wingers in the "No Pressure Zones" for penetrating runs and crosses. Inside the box, a 4 v 3 scenario unfolds, with attackers focused on finishing. If defenders gain possession in Phase 1, they counter in a 4 v 6 setup. In Phase 2, a 5 v 7 counter ensues, and in Phase 3, a full-field counterattack takes place.

Hi all, I'm struggling a bit to find the right examples. I need to make a training creating space for a fellow player and utilizing it. Any tips?
