2v1 Finishing, #1
2v1 Finishing, #1
Set Up:
There are 12-16 players set up in the attacking third, with players starting at the cones. Player 1 begins the drill by dribbling towards Player 2. The players release with his first touch, and play continues 2v1 to goal from there. If the defender wins the ball, he can score in the two small goals set up outside of the penalty area. Upon completion, play re-starts with the next set of players. During the drill, the players rotate to all three lines, and after 10 minutes, the starting position switches over to the right side of the field.
Coaching Points:
1. Look for the takeover and heel pass combinations, and the fakes of both.
2. Both players should accelerate out of the combination (or the fake).
3. Cut sharply to goal after the takeover and get into the space behind the defender.
Progressions:
1. Progress to 2v2.
