Skill

Drill

Player 1 passes to player 2 on the ground (treating it like a cm switching to a winger)
Player 2 takes their 1st touch hard up the line through the gate
Player 1 makes a curved run through the gate to the penalty spot
Player 2 curves their run to get their hips square to make their cross into the box (on the ground)
Player 1 times their run, they should be at the gate when player 2 approaches the ball for the cross so that they are on the move when the cross happens.
Finish with 1 touch.
