Kick-Off Routine

Kick-off is the only moment where the ball is still, everyone is placed and nobody can press. Most teams give that away with one kick.

Short Throw-In Routine

The instant the ball leaves his hands the thrower is unmarked. The lay-back exists so the team can use the free player it just created.

Defending a Free Kick

Walls do not exist to block shots. They make the goal smaller so the keeper only has to defend one half of it, and he sets them.

Worked Free-Kick Routine

Sell the direct strike so the keeper sets for it, roll it square to open the angle, and hit it first time around the end of the wall.

Penalty Kick

Pick your corner before you start and do not change it. Consistent run-up, stable plant foot, low and hard inside the post. The percentage ball.
