For this freekick, the taker stands behind the ball, with a fake player to confuse the opponent. The taker passes to the central player in the box. Four players block the wall, while two move diagonally: one to receive the ball and set it for the finisher, the other ready to finish. This set piece focuses on manipulation, blocking, penetration, and attacking.
KEEP EXPLORING
Player pretends to receive a short pass, then unmarks himself towards the area. The thrower can make a short pass to the unmarked player for a direct shot or search for a teammate.
Free kick taken from the side against a team defending the man. We place a left-footed and a right-footed free kicker next to the ball, with the intention of lowering the wall as much as possible to block a possible shot at the first post. At the signal, which could be the feint of a shot by one of the kickers, the player furthest away in the area makes a supporting run while being helped by a teammate who blocks his marker at the same time as the rest try to block theirs as well so that they cannot jump to block the shot. This player who comes in support is the one who will receive the pass and will try to finish.
Offensive corner against a team that defends in mixed marking with a single player on the edge of the area. In the first step, a player comes to receive short and returns it to the thrower. We take advantage of this action to sink the defense as much as we can inside the area. Subsequently, the player located on the edge of the area drags his marker by unmarking himself to create space so that the teammate behind him can receive the pass and shoot.
