9v9 Attacking Half — Final Third Patterns

Attacking team of 9 builds from a back line and tries to create and finish against a defending 9 in a half-field game. Scoring only by goal; defending team scores by playing through a gate on the halfway line. Forces the attacking team to take risks and combine in the final third.

• CAM (Moreno) arrives late into pockets — don't be in the space before the ball gets there
• Wingers: get your cross/shot away early; don't slow down when you get the chance
• Strike partnership: one holds, one makes the run — constant communication

• Remove one attacker to create an overload for the defense and force sharper attacking decisions
• Goals must be scored from a combination involving at least three players — no route-one finish
