Intermediate · 3/54-3-3 vs 4-5-1 Mid Block
Tactical question
Shift the block by switching to the isolated winger before support arrives.
Success criteria
- Ball lands on the winger's front foot facing forward.
- Switch beats the ball-side midfielder's recovery.
- Receiver isn't forced into a stretched first touch.
Common mistake
Safe square pass — keeps possession but wastes the isolation.
