This attacking drill works on overloads in attack with 4v3 in midfield and 2v1 in the final third – attackers can go 2v1 to goal but should also consider 1v1 with creative play. Good shooting is vital to the drill.
Coaching Objectives
- When attacking the final third the attacking players can go 2v1 or 1v1 to goal.
- Attackers should be creative in the final third using body feints to fool the defender – the attacker must decide pass or dribble.
- When dribbling use the outside of the furthest foot to keep the ball from the defender.
- When shooting check the goalkeeper's position to see where the space is.
