Description and Graphics
2 teams are placed opposite each other. One player of the attackers (now white) always has a rest. The defenders (blue) start the exercise by making a sharp, low pass to one of the white players. The attackers try to outplay the defenders by combination play and dribble the ball across the opposite line. The defenders have to make right pressing defence, intercept the ball and dribble it across the line.
