FINISH LIKE FERNANDO TORRESPLAY LIKE SPAIN

HOW IT HELPS

When you receive the ball with your back to goal, most defenders and goalkeepers expect you to pass back where the ball came from, but you can nurture the ability to take the ball on the turn and fire off a surprise shot on goal. It’s a great weapon to have in your arsenal, and you can work on it using this exercise.

ACTION

A1 plays the ball into the feet of the coach and follows his pass. D1 chases. The coach lays the ball off to A1, who has to try and beat D1 to get into the shooting zone and score in either of the goals.
