Three-player combination: the first passes to the second, the second plays to the third, who has made a run into free space. The key is the third player's movement — they break away before the ball arrives to the second player. Practise in different patterns: in behind, wide and diagonally.
The third player moves proactively, not reactively. The second player can read the third player's movement. The third player's movement is a fundamental tool in team attacking.
