Instructions/Setup:


This practice takes place in a full half of a pitch and focuses on developing players’ finishing in different situations. The central player receives a pass, turns, and finishes in a 1v1 against the goalkeeper.


The right winger then receives a pass, takes a touch, and crosses to the back post for the opposite winger to finish. The right winger drops back to receive a diagonal pass, plays a 1-2 combination with the striker, and delivers a cross for the striker/winger to finish. Finally, the outside player passes inside for the winger to finish, either on one or two touches, depending on the angle. After completing a full sequence, the next three players start their run.


Coaching Notes:


• Ensure quick decision-making when receiving the ball in tight spaces. Players must be aware of their body position and adjust accordingly.


• Focus on the quality of finishing during 1v1 situations with the goalkeeper. Players should vary their finishes depending on the angle and pressure.


• Encourage accurate and timed crosses, with the player delivering the ball focusing on pace and placement for the runner to attack.


• Promote fluidity and sharpness in the passing and combination play, ensuring the players move quickly to support the ball at all times.


Progression 1: Add a Defender


Introduce a passive defender into the drill who can attempt to intercept passes or pressure the ball. This progression forces players to make quicker decisions and execute more precise passes.


Focus: Quick thinking and technical execution under pressure.


Progression 2: Speed Up the Play


Reduce the time between passes to increase the intensity. Players must execute each pass and movement faster while maintaining accuracy and timing.


Focus: Speed and precision in finishing and passing, increasing the tempo of the drill.
