The outside midfielder drops back with the ball to open up passing space to the center of the field where he sees his teammate.
The midfielder then passes the ball to his teammate in the center of the field (notice that this teammate also dropped back to create space in which to receive the ball).
Once the ball was released, the outside midfielder makes a quick penetrating run. His teammate sees this run and splits 2 defenders with a nice pass (notice that he completes this pass while surrounded by 3 opponents).
*Approx 12 min on 56K modem. Here the outside midfielder receives this pass with plenty of space to cross the ball. Had his run not been at full speed, he would not have such an opportunity.
