1v1 reaction and finishing

CoachTruly

Description: 1v1 drill with goalkeeper. Set up a square with cones. Defender positions between the yellow cones. Attacker positions between the orange cones. The drill starts with the attacker's (black) movement to the other cone and touching it. Defender (blue) makes the same movement in the opposite direction touching their own cone. After touching the cone, the attacker moves towards the ball and tries to beat the defender and finish on goal. As a variation, both players can touch the same side cone as a mirror image.
Coaching key points: Deceiving the opponent 1v1 beating
Progression: How do I deceive the opponent with my body movements?
