Setup & instructions

The winger takes on the full-back one on one, beats him on the outside to reach the byline, and crosses for the striker to attack. The full-back defends the take-on live. Emphasise the change of pace to beat the man and a quality delivery under pressure. Vary the finish and rotate the winger, full-back, and striker.

Setup time: 1 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Attack the full-back, commit him, then go past
  • Change of pace to beat him on the outside
  • Get to the byline before you cross
  • Cross away from the keeper, into the danger area
  • Striker times the run to attack the delivery

Common mistakes

  • Crossing before beating the man, from deep
  • No change of pace, easy for the full-back
  • Cross too close to the keeper
  • Striker's run mistimed for the delivery

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Add a second defender to track the striker
  • Let the winger cut inside as an option
  • Cross first time if the full-back overcommits

  • Passive full-back to groove the take-on and cross
  • Start already past the full-back to work the cross
