This training session is focused on finishing in the box for strikers.
Louis has given us two examples of top finishers in action.
Example 1- Ruud Van Nistelrooy:
Drill 1.
Structure:
-Set up the area as above.
Rules:
-The idea is for the strikers to score in the penalty area also known as the #CAGE.
-The coach plays in a ball to the whites who are currently 4v3.
-As soon as the ball is played in a defender placed on the half way line can recover to make it 4v4.
-The defenders are not allowed in the box. This rule encourages the strikers to run in behind.
-If the defenders win the ball their job is to play out trying to hit the coach on the half way line.
Drill 2.
Structure:
-Set up the area as above.
Rules:
-There is a combination wide ending in a delivery in to the box.
-This is repeated on the other side.
-The strikers are trying to create space, lose their marker and score.
-As soon as both crosses are completed the coach passes to a striker for a 2v2 battle.
-If the defenders win the ball they must try and play in the goals on the half way line.
Example 2- Mario Mandžukić:
