Good attacking soccer includes creating space by getting wide as well as being as deep as one possibly can be without being offsides.

Supporting players must create space and take the proper angles to assist the player and allow for quick combination play to off-balance the defense to get off a shot. Since the ultimate purpose of attacking is to score, attackers should attempt to get behind the defense and finish the attack with a shot on goal.
