This is the finish people struggle with most

It looks easy but it isn’t..

When the ball is travelling at pace across your body and you know it’s a great chance it can be difficult and we have all seen them missed…

Having a strategy helps

If you get your body position right you have a great chance of getting a good connection and beating the keeper ..

However if you sort of just watch the ball and forget the body position it’s so easy to lift, put it wide, or get a poor connection straight at the keeper..

Here’s a strategy.

If your meeting the ball towards the front post go with your front foot!

If your meeting it towards the back post go back foot.

This just allows you a framework to adjust your body to allowing the percentages of a good connection to be higher!

Game skills = Game results

Here’s a tip to get more effective 1v1 .. Work on using your arms more If you can position your body and use your arms when you go past players in the right way it’s very difficult for the defender to control the situation.. There’s many different ways you can do it but to start with once you have pushed the ball past your opponent or stepped inside them whatever the situation thing about closing your body off with the arm. This stops defenders being able to get there arm across you and knock you off balance or win the ball. Small details = Big results. 💥⚽️

Get these 3 steps right and you will be deadly… 1. Get good at being able to stop the ball right at your feet when you’re moving at speed whilst still feeling balanced. 2. Get good at managing the weight and direction of your shifts to open up the best angles and finishing options for yourself. 3. Get good at the ex*****on.. first of all feel the direction you need to fin consistently then see if you can do it with a bit more aggression whilst still maintain composure to really wrap it in the corner. Get to work and enjoy adding it to your game next season! Game skills = Game results! ⚽️💥

Weak foot work… Working with Benji on making him more dangerous as a right footer who plays on the right by making him more confident to cut in on his left foot… Your weak foot doesn’t need to be as strong as your dominant one however if your opponent is worried about you going either was as they know you will shoot and pass and can cause a problem both ways life is a lot more difficult for them.. It then allows you to open up more space on your favoured side if the defender isn’t sure where your going to go.. You have to be willing to go through the frustrating reps so you can do it on match day! Game skills = Game results! ⚽️💥
