Corner Kick Variation X

Forwards I + J and centre backs B + C position themselves around the goalkeeper. Right central midfielder G is placed at the level of the penalty area line. Left outside midfielder E is positioned centrally in the area behind the penalty area and left central midfielder F behind him, slightly offset to the left. The two fullbacks A and D stand at the two half-central positions at the level of the halfway line. Player H takes the corner. Player/Position legend: GK = Goalkeeper A = left fullback B = left centre back C = right centre back D = right fullback E = left outside midfielder F = left central midfielder G = right central midfielder H = right outside midfielder I = left forward J = right forward

Player H tries to deliver the ball directly into the goal at the near post. Players J, B + C are gathered around the goalkeeper and try to distract him or get the ball into the goal. Right central midfielder G runs to the position between the 6-yard box and the penalty spot. Player E covers the area behind and tries to convert any cleared balls. Player F as well as the two fullbacks A and D cover the back. After each corner kick, everyone returns to their original positions and the next round starts. First we practise the following variations without defenders, later with defenders and of course from both sides.n
