This video is about what happens after you play the ball wide, and why movement after the pass is what separates good midfielders from top-level midfielders.
Right now there are moments where the ball gets played wide and the movement stops.
But when that happens, the winger can get trapped and double-teamed with no support around him.
The solution is running the channel.
As soon as the ball goes wide, you sprint into the space behind the fullback.
Best-case scenario, you receive behind the line and attack the box.
But even when you don’t receive the ball, the movement still creates value.
Because if defenders follow your run, you create an alleyway for the winger to drive inside.
That is where attacks become dangerous.
The key detail is the change of pace.
The run cannot be casual.
It has to be explosive and aggressive enough to force defenders to react.
Play wide.
Sprint the channel.
Create the alleyway.
That’s how top midfielders create attacks even without touching the ball.
