Introduction
Within any formation or shape partnerships are important. An important partnership is between the full-back and winger.
Creating 2v1s
An important part of the relationship between the two occurs in the attacking third.
The full-back should move forward to support the winger. This can create a 2v1 and isolate the defending full-back.
The full-back may also overlap or underlap the winger. This will either create space for the ball carrying winger by engaging the defending full-back. Ben White at Arsenal regularly does this to create space for Saka to move centrally with the ball.
The full-back may also receive the ball beyond the defensive line and cross into the area for an arriving forward.
Defending
Essentially flipping this. It’s important that the winger is prepared to track back and support their full-back when out of possession.
If the opposition full-back advances forward to support their winger. The now defending winger should follow this run back to avoid the attacking team isolating the defending full-back.
