FINISH LIKE FERNANDO TORRES
Speed, accuracy and intelligence – three deadly skills for a forward, which this exercise
can help you to hone in training and take out onto the pitch when matchday arrives
SET UP
Set out an area measuring 15 x 20
yards with two mini-goals at either
end. Divide the players into two
teams and position them in line
with the halfway line, facing
each other on opposing
sidelines. Give a ball to
each player on one of
the teams.
20 yds
ACTION
A1 passes the ball to B1 and follows
their pass to close them down. B1 can
now dribble the ball and score at
either end as A1 tries to tackle
them. Once B1 has scored, they
have to turn and sprint around the
goal opposite to the one they put
the ball into, with A1 in pursuit.
Once A1 and B1 have sprinted
around the goal they rejoin
their respective lines. The
sequence continues.
