Move your defender laterally, 1 v 1 skills Soccer

Description

The attacker dribbles the ball in a confined space from left to right in order to try and move the defender.

The aim here is not to get past your man but to reach the cones at either end before the defender by creating as much space as possible.

Coaching Points

The attacker should attempt to wrong-foot the defender.

The faster the turn and acceleration away, the greater the space that the attacker will create.
