Better by Saturday.
Free football training. Drills you can do on your own, and sessions, tactics and the Laws for the people who coach them.
Match moments
Get past their midfield
Their midfielder is blocking the pass to you. What do you do?
Their midfielders are marking the passes into 8 and 10. The way through is not to come closer, it is to run, as a teammate gets the ball beyond them. Three decisions, from 8 and 9, take us from halfway to a shot. Pause the action, make your choice, see what happens, three times over. Then the practice that trains it, and what to do on Saturday.
Skills, up close
The Cruyff turn
Shape to pass or cross, then drag the ball behind your standing leg instead and turn away.
Fifteen skills drawn from above, at the feet, so you can see which foot touches the ball and where it goes. Each one comes with the mistakes to avoid and drills to practise it.
