Playing the Wing-Back Role Effectively
Discipline 7: Tactical Systems — Lesson 10 of 12
Lecturer: Imogen Vance
An early run just removes an option rather than creating one. This session covers timing forward runs to the moment possession is secure, recovering into the defensive line the instant possession is lost, and communicating constantly with the covering centre-back.
The three rules
1. Time runs to secure possession.
2. Recover into the line instantly.
3. Communicate with the covering centre-back.
