In this drill players are focused on creating opportunities to score goals under pressure in central areas of the pitch. Work is in a crowded penalty area with long shots and one touch finishes.
One touch finishing and quick reactions to changing possession, rebounds, miss-kicks and a goalkeeper out of position.
In crowded areas like the penalty area the practice becomes high intensity and mistakes are usually about control of the ball. Encourage short, sharp explosive moments when a player has the ball and create a very competitive environment.
Look for winning 1v1s, good combination play and of course good shooting technique.
I want players to keep an eye on where the goalkeeper is positioned – scan the box, place the shot.
