Back-to-Goal Flick Finish — 9 Redirects, Runner Shoots Without Settling
A fast finishing combination where the 9 acts as a redirection point instead of setting the ball conventionally. The supporting runner reads the touch and finishes without allowing the defence to reset.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Position the 9 16–18m from a full-size goal with goalkeeper and a runner 5–7m deeper. A server plays firmly into the 9, who redirects first time with inside, outside or heel into the runner's path. The runner finishes with minimal touches.
Coaching Points
9 checks the runner before contact | Redirect with soft pace into the shooting path | Runner times movement after the service starts | Finish early before the goalkeeper sets fully | Use different redirect surfaces without forcing tricks
Progressions
- Add a defender tight to the 9 and a recovering defender chasing the runner.
Regressions
- Use passive pressure and allow the 9 two touches.
