Score from a low driven cross. Get to the byline, drive the ball low and hard across the face of goal, and attack the near post to sweep it in first time.
A wide player drives to the byline and hits a low, firm ball across the face of the six-yard box. A striker attacks the near post to sweep it in first time, with a second runner gambling at the back post. Emphasise pace and a flat, low delivery across the face and a striker attacking the front post early. Practise from both flanks. Rotate the roles.
Low and hard across the six-yard box asks the least of the striker and the most of the defence, which is why it converts so well. A ball travelling flat and fast only needs to be touched to go in, and an attacker who arrives at the right moment does not have to generate anything, control anything or beat anyone.
It also removes the goalkeeper from the decision. A cross into the air is his to claim if he judges it well. A ball driven across the face at knee height is one he cannot come for without leaving his goal completely, and one his defenders can only touch towards their own net. That is why so many driven crosses end as own goals or scrambled finishes rather than clean saves.
The technique that most often lets it down is the plant foot. To keep a cross flat, the standing foot goes level with or slightly ahead of the ball and the body stays over it. Leaning back lifts the delivery, and a lifted driven cross is just a bad ordinary cross: too fast for a header, too high for a foot.
The target is the space between the keeper and the defenders, roughly across the front of the six-yard box. Short of that the keeper claims it, beyond it the danger has passed.
Getting to the byline first matters more here than for a lofted delivery, because the flat angle only exists once the winger is level with or beyond the goal line.
Save it to your private drills, then change the animation, adjust positions, swap equipment, or drop it into a session block. Or start from a blank pitch and build your own.
