Middle or Wide Advantage is from Michael Beale’s 64 Small-Sided Soccer Games manual
White team The white team have all four players on the pitch. When in possession they need to pass the ball quickly in order to create an opening to score a goal. In defence, this team can pressure quickly as they have the extra players and attempt to force the black players to play inside and not towards their wide advantage. Black team In possession the black team need to try to pass out wide quickly. This enables them to get another one of their players into the game. The receiving wide player can choose to dribble down the outside unopposed or dribble onto the pitch and attempt to score. In defence, the black team must try to drop off and reduce the space for the white team to exploit.
