Anatomy of a deadly right flank: The Bos-Volpato pairing that almost brought Socceroos a winner
By this point, the pair had already exploited that side several times, but find joy once more through smart passing and movement.As Alessandro Circati brings the ball past the halfway line, Bos makes himself available on the inside channel. Volpato stays wide, almost on the touchline, holding the width as Bos passes to Aiden O’Neill. Then Volpato, still wide, receives the ball from O’Neill and draws a defender in the process.As he skirts around the defender and comes inside, Bos is free to position himself for a cutback.
