Italy Crossing & Finishing
ADDED TO FAVOURITES
Practice Breakdown:
Number of Players: 10 | Pitch size: 50x36
This unopposed crossing and finishing drill takes place in a central area, encouraging players to combine centrally before finishing and then quickly transitioning to attack a wide cross. Two attackers work with two neutral players to create a central combination, leading to a first shot on goal. Immediately after the finish, the two attackers must react, turn, and attack a cross delivered from the opposite side, aiming for a second finish into the other goal.
• Combination Detail – Focus on crisp, accurate passing and well-timed movement during the central combination to create space for the first finish.
• Finishing Quality – Players should concentrate on clean, decisive finishes off the combination to simulate real goalscoring chances.
• Reaction Speed – After the initial shot, encourage quick reactions to transition and attack the cross at pace.
• Timing of Runs – Players must time their runs into the box when attacking the cross to arrive at the right moment for an effective finish.
One-Touch Central Combination
Players are limited to one touch during the central combination, increasing the speed and sharpness of the build-up.
Focus: Improving technical execution and tempo in tight spaces.
Delayed Crosses
The wide player delays the cross by 1–2 seconds, forcing the attackers to adjust their movement and timing before attacking the delivery.
Focus: Developing patience, reading the cross, and adjusting movement inside the box.
