Creating Space – Cross & Finish
Creating Space is a key component in football, it can either give you time to pick your next pass or move, or it can lose a marker and allow you time to finish unopposed.
This drill contains those little moves that you can perform to create that space.
It’s not just about the moves themselves, its about the timing of them and the timing of the Pass.
This Creating Space drills is a rotating 6 player combination,
Creating Space – Cross & Finish : How it Works
Player 1 Starts with the ball.
Player 2 makes a move toward him, then checks away around the back of cone, before coming forward again, Player 1 passes to his feet. Player 1 then moves to position 2
Player 2 receives the pass, takes 1 touch and passes to the feet of Player 3. Player 2 then moves to position 3
(NB – This next part all happens very quickly)
Player 3 then opens their body up and controls with back foot ( right foot in this case ) then steps into the control and plays a first time pass to Player 4. Player 3 moves to position 4
As the pass goes toward Player 4, Player 5 makes a move toward Player 4, then checks back and around the cone.
Player 4 players a first time pass with their right foot into the path of Player 5. Player 4 move to position 5
As soon as Player 4 players their pass, Player 6 comes deep, spins and goes back round the cone to attack the box
Player 5 receives the pass from Player 4, takes one touch and then crosses into the path of the on running Player 6 who either finishes first time or is allowed 1 touch and then finish.
Player 5 move to position 6. Player 6 retrieves ball and goes to the back of the queue at position 1.
Any heavy touches or poor crosses, encourage your Goalkeeper to come get them with a Big shout. Really encourage that loud communication
