Organization
The area used for this exercise is half of a pitch. Some meters further on the halfway line place a marker. At 30 meters from the goal place 3 markers, one in the center and two close to the touchlines. Players A, B, C and D go to their respective markers (See picture). On the limit of the penalty area place the two forwards (E and F). Give a ball to player A.
Description
- This is an example of how to develop the exercise:
- A executes a medium-long pass towards forward E, who meanwhile executes a come and go movement to get closer to the pass
- E executes a support at first touch towards B
- B, at first touch, passes the ball as accurately as possible to the space towards C, who meanwhile has sprinted in depth along the touchline towards position C1
- Forwards E and F get in the area to execute a crossing motion between them on E1 and F1, while C hits a lofted ball inside the area
- F shoots at goal
Once the action is done, players quickly go back to their positions and get ready to repeat the exercise from the opposite side
Coaching Points
- Exchanges between players are done as fast as possible and in the proper moment to avoid the intervention of rivals during a match
- Pay attention to the incorporation moment from the outside and to the crossing motion moment of the forwards
- The player, during the execution of the lofted ball, must close the skill after hitting the ball accompanying the trajectory with the leg
- Use all attacking players that are in the team. Each player goes to their usual position.
