1. Creating Space from Outside to in.
Starting Position.Winger losses Ball to Full back or Full back losses Ball to wide midfieder.

X Makes an aggressive run into the penalty area drawing his marker with him.The full back can now exploit the space and deliver a cross.

Interchange of Positions.If the full back goes forward the midfielder should pull back

2. Creating Space from Inside to out.
Starting Position.Central Defender  miss headers clearance to central Midfielder.

The two forwards make aggressive runs wide taking their markers with them.This leaves space centrally for the midfielder to run in on goal.These runs can be practiced with crossovers as well.

Overlaps.

X1 Makes an aggressive run outside of X2,this gives X2 two choices depending on what the defenders do. 

1. If X4 covers X1 run then X2 can come inside for a shot on goal.
2. If X4 is static then X2 can slip a ball in for X1 to cross.

Remember lots of good attitude on these runs and disguise of pass or movement.

Create width by wing play.Make them mark you or the space behind you.By moving wide towards Xfb,X1 can Create space in two positions depending on the Defender.

1.  If X3 goes with X1 then space is created behind them for X2 to run into.Alternatively Xfb could throw a dummy and run with the Ball into the space X3 has left.
2. If X3 stays where he is then X1 can receive the ball to feet.Xfb can now make a run from behind the Ball,an Overlap.

Remember the nearer to goal you get the more important the space.
