Breaking Free from the Opponent with Initial Movement

  • Organisation

    • 4 cones
    • 1 goal
  • Process

      • The midfielder dribbles through the two cones. When reaching the 2nd cone, they pass to their teammate.
      • The attacker must time their run to get free. They perform a running feint into space, then come short to receive the pass in an open position.
      • The attacker then takes a shot.
    • Variation:
      • Add a defender who, upon winning the ball, can counterattack across the dotted line between the cones.
      • Include a supporting defender who applies pressure on the passer (from the side or behind) upon interception.
      • Introduce a second attacker and defender. The attackers must coordinate their runs with each other.
  • Tip

    • Coaching Points:
      • The pass and the initial movement must be perfectly coordinated.
      • Encourage using both feet in the exercise.
