1v1 Wide Isolation

Obj: The winger's duel: beat the fullback to the byline for a cutback, or cut inside — read his stance (position curriculum 10.7 companion). Field: Wide channel 30×15yd along a real touchline into the byline corner + cutback zone; goal + GK. Equip: Cones, balls, goal, bibs; one target runner. Org: Winger receives a switch-style pass at width; fullback closes from inside. Winger scores 2 pts for winning the byline + completed cutback to the arriving runner, 1 pt for cutting inside and shooting. Fullback: 2 pts for a delay >6s or forcing backward, 3 for winning it. CP: (1) First touch attacks his front hip; (2) read the stance — inside foot forward = go outside, square = burst either; (3) win the byline's last two yards before cutting back (turns his head). Prog: Add recovering midfielder shrinking the cutback window (early-cross decision enters); winger starts inverted (opposite foot). Reg: Fullback delays only, no tackling; no runner (cone target). Mist: P: cutting back blind without scanning arrivals; C: only playing on the attacker's natural side — both wings, both feet. Time: 18 min. Out: 8+ duels per winger; stance-reading verbalized; fullbacks get equal defensive schooling (10.3). Var: 2v2 with overlapping fullbacks (decision: use or refuse the overlap). Diag: Touchline channel, winger wide, fullback inside-goal-side, byline arrow to shaded cutback zone, runner arriving at penalty spot.
