Build up methods are clear distinct ways to build up from the Goalkeeper, the team needs to understand and learn the different ways of building up to best prepare the attack on the opponents.
Positional Build up is limited in Transplant 7vs7 football to just the first few passes between the defenders. They may play the wide player once and switch, it still works and can create a small window of opportunity to the opposite wide player facing forwards. It can also give the option for the second phase defender to receive and penetrate through a pass or running with the ball.
Penetrating build up is the most used build up type in Transplant football, this is due to the 7vs7 pitch being short and narrow. The first pass from the Goalkeeper forward from the goalkeeper is already moving the team into a final third phase.
The risk with Penetrating build up in Transplant football is if the ball is lost too early, this encourages the opponents to pressure especially if the opponent technical skills is limited.
Positional Direct Build up is used by teams that know their limitations, for example in the last World Cup France use this method on a regular basis.
Direct Build up was also used by France, a good example a direct build up is diagonal high balls to the back post to attempt an header on goal.
