Description
The full-back passes into the winger and overlaps. The winger drives inside to commit the defender and slips the ball into the channel. The full-back crosses from near the byline. One striker attacks the near post, the other attacks the far post.
Organisation
Half pitch with a full goal and a keeper. Start unopposed, then add a mannequin and a live defender on the wing and two centre-backs in the box. Do five repetitions from each side.
Coaching points
- The winger carries the ball inside to commit the defender and open the space outside.
- The full-back times the overlap to arrive at speed.
- Cross early into the space between the keeper and the defenders.
- Strikers split: one near post, one far post. Arrive, do not wait.
