Madrid 2 Phase Finishing
ADDED TO FAVOURITES
Practice Breakdown:
Number of Players: 3 | Pitch size: 40x30
This 2-phase finishing drill helps players focus on both combination play and quick finishing under pressure. The first phase involves a center forward combining with a central midfielder, turning, and finishing on goal. In the second phase, after the finish, the forward quickly transitions to receive a pass from behind the goal and completes a 1-touch finish.
The drill challenges the player to maintain focus during rapid transitions and make quick decisions in both combination play and finishing situations.
• Combination Play: Encourage the center forward to make quick, sharp movements when receiving the ball from the midfielder to create space for the shot. Timing and communication are key.
• Quick Turn and Finish: Once the ball is played, the forward should focus on quickly turning and taking a clean shot. Encourage using both feet and finishing with composure under pressure.
• Transition to Second Phase: After the first finish, the player should transition quickly to the second phase, anticipating the ball from behind the goal. Focus on movement off the ball to create a clear shot at goal.
• 1-Touch Finish: The 1-touch finish should be sharp and clinical. Players must focus on striking the ball cleanly, ensuring the shot is on target, and using proper technique.
Increase Speed of the Combination:
Reduce the time between the pass and the shot in the first phase. The center forward should complete the combination and finish in under 5 seconds.
Focus: This progression increases the tempo of the drill, making it more game-realistic and challenging for the forward to act quickly.
Add a Defender in the Second Phase:
Introduce a passive defender in the second phase to pressure the forward once they receive the ball from behind the goal. The defender should not challenge until the ball is received.
Focus: This progression adds a decision-making element in the second phase, forcing the forward to choose their finish quickly while under slight pressure.
