Finishing / Shooting Drill

 

Task: for the attackers - finish using less than three touches per player; for the defenders - to clear the ball
Purpose: composure, direct attacks

Complexity: medium

 
Counter 3v2 with a Wing

Description: The attackers begin in line, at three different points:

on the wing, 20 yards inward and in the middle of the pitch.

Two enemy fullbacks are initially located at the edge and corner

of the penalty box. The ball starts from the player in the center.

He gives it to the left enemy defender who immediately lays it to

the outside attacker. From that point, the fullbacks begin an attempt

to clear the ball to the opposite half of the pitch. The attackers are

required to score using not more than three consecutive touches

per single player.

 

Explanation: The initial pass between attackers and fullbacks is

important from a psychological point of view. This interaction

promotes a composed type of play rather than kick and rush football.

Having a winger out wide stimulates a more complex tactical

movement such as plays involving crossing.
