- Finishing & Scoring
A finishing exercise with third-man play where the focus is timing and the finish from zone 14, the area directly in front of the penalty box. One shot comes from one side and the group on the other side starts straight after. 1) Bounce off the defender and play out to the side. 2) Third-man pass straight to the feet: timing is everything. 3) Scan behind you before the ball arrives. 4) In zone 14 the focus is a clean finish. See the video for the set-up and measurements. Source: Artis Brno coaching staff (Roman Nádvorník, Jiří Lerch and Jiří Vágner) via the Instagram account burdovilya.
