Finishing Techniques

With a team mate passing you the ball, can your first touch take you sideways (away from the pressure of the defender) and then shoot into the bottom corners.

Use your laces to strike the ball into the near post and the inside of your foot to bend the ball into the far corner. Before you receive the ball, scan, look at where the GK would be and pick your spot. It is very important that once you have had your first touch you don't look at the goal again until after you have shot. When you lift your head to look at the goal, the defenders and GK know you are going to shoot and that fraction of a second will allow the defenders to get closer too you.
