"Coach, I was wondering if we could work on some specific runs for me to make as the striker," Elian said. "I want to make sure I'm creating space and opportunities for the team."
Coach Edward nodded thoughtfully. "That's a great idea, Elian. Let's work on some runs with Declan and Myles, our wingers. We can also involve Jasper and Sawyer, our wingbacks, to create some width and stretching opportunities."
The team reassembled on the pitch, with Elian, Declan, and Myles working together on some specific runs. David and Milo, the midfielders, provided support, distributing the ball to the wingers and striker.
As the drill progressed, Coach Edward stopped the play several times to offer feedback and guidance. He encouraged Elian to make more diagonal runs, creating space for Declan and Myles to make runs down the flanks.
Jasper and Sawyer, the wingbacks, provided width and support, making runs down the touchline and delivering crosses into the box.
