4 white attackers possess the ball with 2 touches against 2 red defenders in zone A.
If the defenders intercept the ball, they hit one of the 2 other red teammates positioning in zone B, then they move into this zone to possess the ball against 2 white defenders.
In that case, the defenders only tackle, but the ball leaves the area, the coach plays one of the two other sided players and the game continues the same way.
