Find the Strikers Feet

Improve link-up play by encouraging quick passing sequences, ball retention, and movement to find the striker in goal-scoring positions.

• Encourage quick and precise passing to shift defenders and open space. • Players should constantly scan and adjust positioning to offer support. • The striker’s movement should be well-timed to receive the ball in an effective position. • Defenders must press intelligently, cutting off passing lanes rather than just chasing the ball. • Encourage the use of body positioning and first-touch control to keep possession under pressure. • Outside players must stay engaged, making themselves available for combination play.
