What it trains
Treat every ball played towards the own goal as the signal to jump, with a fifth player covering the midfield outlet.
Two things to watch
- The back pass is the trigger, so the nearest forward sprints as soon as the receiver's body opens towards their own goal
- Arrive on a curve that lets the receiver go only further back towards the centre-back
