The Short Corner 5
A more difficult play involves quick movement and technical ability, but if performed well can cause the defenders real problems.
(A) taking the short corner waits until (B) begins a sharp run almost along the goal line towards him (see diagram).
(B), once he loses his marker, plays the ball back at the angle to (D), who (as in the last practice) is moving forward from a deep position. If (B) can play the ball first time all the better.
If (B) is tightly marked, or has a difficulty playing to (D), then he can play the ball back to (A), OR can lay the ball back to (C) making a forward run down the right flank.
The practice is to get all four attacking players alert to the possibility of a varying threat on goal.
