The Short Corner 3
Here is a move at a short corner, which can be very effective.
It is simple and will catch out defenders if they are not doing their job
Once again as in the diagram (B) runs out from his position just outside the 6 yard box – but this time he runs out angling his run slightly away from the touchline as in the diagram.
(A) plays the corner kick along the ground to (B’s) feet, and (B) then has two options
1. (A) will communicate to him whether he is tightly marked. If he is he can lay the ball back to (A) at (A2).
He can do that in two ways: -
(a) A simple lay back pass first time OR
(b) (B) can turn towards the goal line quickly as shown in the diagram and then back heel the ball into (A’s) path – so taking (A) clear of any nearby defender.
2. If (B) is not tightly marked he can turn with the ball (see diagram) and cross when he is ready into the danger area.
