FINISH LIKE FERNANDO TORRESPLAY LIKE SPAIN
HOW IT HELPS
This game is all about reaction speed and the accuracy of finishing. A striker such as Fernando Torres latches on to a through ball, beats a defender and applies a finish. This drill is designed to replicate that situation.
ACTION
The coach passes the ball into the field of play and calls out a number – the players assigned this number then sprint to gain possession, and once they have,
try to knock one of their opponents’ balls off a cone. Start with 1 v 1 and then gradually build to 2 v 2, 3 v 3 and so on. If the ball goes off the pitch the game is dead and the coach restarts
with new players. The team to knock off all of their opponents’ balls wins.
