Description
Exercise 1: Striker A starts the action with a pass to B. B moves towards the ball and starts dribbling forward. Simultaneously, C starts a sprint and overlaps B. B then plays a through ball. C takes the ball to the byline and crosses long into the penalty area. A makes a run for the shot. Players C return to their starting position. A and B swap places. Exercise 2: In addition to Exercise 1, the striker now has a defender trying to block the shot. Exercise 3: Now, a second defender is involved, attacking B. B has the option to pass wide or, if the defender anticipates the pass, to cut inside themselves. The goal should be to play wide. After the pass wide, B moves forward and heads to the near post. The defender must decide whether to follow B or attack C. Perform the exercise alternately from the left and right.
