Late 8 One-Touch Strike — 10 Sets Across the Pressure Line
A central finishing combination where the 10 receives under pressure and does not turn. Instead, the player sets across the defensive line into the path of an 8 arriving from deeper.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Use a full-size goal with goalkeeper. A server finds the 10 between lines with one defender tight behind. The 10 sets sideways or diagonally first time. The 8 starts 8–10m deeper and arrives onto the set for a one-touch shot.
Coaching Points
8 times the run so the set meets movement | 10 protects the ball-side and sets away from pressure | Set pace must suit a first-time finish | 8 opens body before arriving | Strike through the ball without overreaching
Progressions
- Add a recovering midfielder chasing the 8.
Regressions
- Make the defender passive and allow the 8 one preparation touch.
