Turning and Finishing (continued An Extra
Defender)
Practice (1)
N.B.
Before proceeding to this practice, coaches need to ensure
that the target player (S) is proving he is capable of handling
the previous exercise.
In practice (1) (above), (B) serves and (S) target man repeats
the exercise.
Now defender (D) is supported by another defender (E) so it
becomes 2 v 2.
(B) serves to (S) who has once again to control, and/or find
a route through to try and get a shot at goal.
(B) joins as a supporting attacker right away, (E's) job is
to defend, cover and mark (B).
SUGGESTED MOVES
(B) and (S) have to work at finding a possible route to goal.
Diagram (1)
(B) serves then as soon as he has played the ball sets off
to the opposite side to where (E) is marking.
(S), once the ball arrives, controls and holds up (D) who
now has a problem if (E) has not spotted (B's) run quickly
enough.
Any hesitancy by the defenders gives (B) a possible shot at
goal. Once again (S's) control is vital, as is his lay off
pass to (B).
NB. If (D) gets too tight, (S) might decide to just
let (B's) pass run on, and so (B) could be running on to his
own service.
Diagram (2)
This time (B) serves and sets off round the outside of (E),
who now has to hold his position, as (S) could play the ball
first time between him and defender (D) to connect with (B's)
run.
Alternatively (B's) run prevents (E) covering, and so (S)
takes the ball on the left side of (D) and tries to score.
