Activity is for Red to counterattack

Red midfielders (6/8/10) – move to spaces to receive progressive pass, adjust body shape, scan prior to receive – 2nd attacker take supporting position to receive if 1st attacker is marked and cannot turn

Red fullbacks (2/3) – on ball played out of defending third, push forward up wing, look to receive and combine in attack

Blue – attempt to delay and isolate ball, force ball back if possible, communicate and make play predictable
