Attacking Pattern Play — Build Through Midfield

10 attackers vs 8 defenders. GK plays out to CDM (Alvarez), who distributes to the CB or out wide. Pattern: build from the back, CDM screens, midfield runners arrive late into the box. Walk through at half pace first, then full speed. Repeat each pattern 10 times before switching.

• CDM sets the tempo — fast when under no pressure, slow it down when pressed
• Wide players must be available before the ball arrives, not running after it
• Late runners from midfield: time the run to arrive as the ball enters the final third

• Allow defenders to press from 30 yards to add game-realistic pressure
• Add a press trigger — when the CB receives, press starts; test the build-out under pressure
