Run straight or angle to hold defence.
Speed is a weapon.
Defending sides will often give the outside space in what is commonly called ‘fools gold’. The aim here is to push the attack to the edge where the sideline becomes part of the defence strategy. Keeping this space can be very difficult however it can be exploited by highly skilled sides who have an understanding of who they are trying to hold in the defence.
Running square and flat at pace can work providing the catch pass skills are high. So can threatening runners angling back at the defence who want to push out - however these lines need to be genuine threats and not just token decoys. Many players will choose to throw long miss-passes to get to the player into space. While this may work at times it is the time that the ball is in the air that can kill this attack strategy. The recovery time for the defence to shift and shut this down is the issue. However, a fast, flat miss-pass to a player outside the edge defender can be very effective. It’s a risk or reward tactic as the possibility of an intercept increases.
