Play Like Switzerland – Cut in to Finish
1. Cutting in to shoot
- 2 opposite queues
- Players have a football each
Moves
- Hazard: Inside/ Inside / Outside
- Ronaldo: Chop
- Suarez: Fake shot / Cut
Once the move has been performed on the mannequin/pole join the opposite queue
Coach is in charge of making the players use both feet
Key Tips
- Encourage players to stay low to improve acceleration on the last touch
- Add disguise by approaching the defender with ‘eyes up’
2. 4 queues of players
- 4 queues of players
- A quarter on 1 red gate, a quarter on another blue gate
- A quarter on 1 blue gate, a quarter on another blue gate
- 2 goalkeepers
- Coach calls Red, the 2 red attackers attack their mannequin
- The coach then calls Blue and the process repeats itself
- Players swap queue colours after each attempt on goal
- Red to Blue, Blue to Red
Competition
- Individual:
- 1 point for a shot at target
- 2 points for a goal
- 3 points for ‘post and in’
- 5 points for ‘double post and in’
Key Tip
- Play your move
- Execute with efficiency and speed
- Game speed
- Assess goalkeeper position during the ‘cut in phase’
- Pick your finish (curled for corner or disguised whip near post)
3. Confined space
- Short and small pitch
- Players are free to roam
- To score 1 goal, normal rules apply
- For 2 goals a player must pick up the ball in one of the wide channels, cut in and finish
Key Tip
- Encourage overlap, a 2v1 situation in wide areas
