Up Back Through - Finish

To develop attackers’ ability to combine using ‘up-back-through’ passing patterns, time third-man runs, and execute accurate finishes on goal under minimal pressure.

Weight & Timing of Passes • Ensure each pass allows the next action to flow without needing extra touches. The motion of passes should be punch, set, punch. Body Shape to Receive • Players should open out and scan before receiving. Trigger Recognition • Player B should release the pass when Player A is at full speed, not before. Finishing Detail • Can the striker finish early, low and into the corners? Tempo & Rotation • Keep the rhythm high, encouraging players to sprint between phases.
