Cross and Finish Under Pressure — Attack Three Zones
A crossing and finishing practice where attackers must occupy near-post, central and far-post zones while active defenders challenge the delivery. The emphasis is on timing and role coordination rather than unopposed crossing.

Organization
Use one full-size goal and two wide service channels. Start with three attackers against two defenders plus goalkeeper. A wide player delivers after a short combination and attackers make coordinated runs into the three finishing zones.
