Crosses from the wing and finishing
Passing
- Description
- In this drill, a pass is made from the central channel through a gate to a wing player. The winger crosses the ball to the goal either with the first or second touch. From two lines in the central channel, attackers start to finish from the cross.
- Quality factors
- Observation by the crosser: when are teammates ready to receive? To which area is the cross delivered? (E.g., near post, far post, penalty area) Varied runs by attackers (e.g., to the near post, far area, edge of the box)
- Key questions
- How can you deceive the defender and create space for yourself in the box? How do you recognize the right moment to cross? How do you identify which area the cross should be delivered to?
