Team A builds the play in the attacking zone (3v2 + joker) and tries to play through the narrow central zone pivot player to the other end, where the joker receives. From the defending team, 2 press in the attacking zone, 1 covers the central zone. After winning the ball, the team that won the ball starts building from their own end. The pivot simulates a central midfielder, while the players at the ends act as central defenders.
