0:02hello all and welcome to
0:04today's webinar uh finishing the attack
0:06under the microscope
0:08my name is warren hackett i'm a national
0:09coach developer and i'd like to welcome
0:11my colleague today senior coach
0:13developer paul mcginnis hey doing paul
0:14you okay hi
0:15good to see you good
0:21okay so session aims today utilizing
0:23observational skills
0:25uh further interrogation using the
0:27quadrant tool recap on key factors
0:30observing connections between players on
0:33around and away from the ball so here's
0:36our
0:37england dna finishing the attack just
0:40the typical things you'd look for on
0:41here would be
0:42inbox crosses triangle wide crosses
0:45penetrative passes but also
0:47having the mind of the organization and
0:48security behind the ball
0:51so paul i'm just going to lead you into
0:53this diagram here now where you're going
0:54to obviously go into some real depth and
0:56detail around finishing the attack
0:58in the final third so over to you
1:01yeah i mean just in first look you think
1:04wow look how much stuff there is here
1:06um but that is you know there's so much
1:08going on in the final third so many
1:10different solutions to the problem of
1:12beating that block the defense and so
1:15we're going to have a look at it
1:16um bit by bit really we'll break it down
1:19make it less
1:20fussy um but i think you'll recognize a
1:23lot of the patterns and the movements
1:24that are in there
1:30and so yeah that's made a little bit
1:32clearer so if we just look at the two
1:34sort of
1:35rings around the bottom the blue rings
1:37i've put those in because
1:39a lot of the time you're playing around
1:41it might be the deepest one furthest
1:43towards the back with the defenders and
1:45then the midfield players might be
1:47um playing around in that ring around
1:50the box
1:50looking for the right pass looking for
1:52the penetrative pass um
1:54to set the move going that also doubles
1:56up as a security ring so you'll see
1:59now a lot of teams say man city have
2:01recently been putting their full backs
2:03into that ring as well
2:04to make sure that not only have they got
2:07a base from
2:08which to make the play and make the pass
2:10but if it breaks down they've got
2:11security behind the ball to win it back
2:13quickly
2:14and to stop any counter attacks and so
2:17that's the reason for those rings being
2:18in there
2:19and it might be they've changed play and
2:21got the ball wide
2:23and these these don't just happen wide
2:25but they will happen
2:26and predominantly in a wide position so
2:28you've got the normal underlap
2:30um where say a fullback might underlap
2:33a wide man that's there and you see
2:35within the quadrant
2:37um where the space is for the for the
2:39defender to make that run for the
2:41the attacking player uh another sort of
2:44common one here
2:45on the right there is the horizontal run
2:47so it might be a wide man who is just
2:49making a run a blind side run
2:51inside uh horizontal um
2:54behind the defender or of course the
2:56normal sort of traditional overlap where
2:58you
2:58you'd make a run commit the full back
3:00and then slide someone in
3:02to get the space on the outside and so
3:04those might be three
3:06types of runs that are going on yeah um
3:09and then sort of more in and around the
3:11box but these could also happen inside
3:13the box we've mainly concentrated on
3:15runs outside the box here
3:16um but again you see um where the
3:19quadrant is
3:20that's how we sort of um observing the
3:22defender's position
3:24and the um the forward in this case and
3:26then the pass
3:28would then go say for on the right hand
3:30side of the box there's a blind side run
3:32so you might get say someone like
3:33sterling playing for england or man city
3:35making that little blind side run as the
3:37defenders may be caught
3:39looking at the ball uh would be a common
3:41one and i think it does help when you
3:42see the
3:43the sort of shaded area that shows you
3:46where the pass
3:47um the receiver um sort of creates that
3:50that that space and creates a picture
3:53really for where the passer might play
3:54the pace uh
3:55play the pass um the next one along is
3:59just opening up whether the striker may
4:01open up their
4:02their position and open the space off to
4:04the right in this case
4:06and that gives a clear picture for the
4:08pass for the passer to make that
4:10uh pass away from the defender yeah
4:13essentially it might be dropping off
4:15into a space if the defender doesn't
4:17come it would be then maybe
4:19turning out to maybe open up so we're
4:20gonna get a shot or slide a pass in
4:23or if the defender does come it might
4:24create space for someone else to come
4:27and then you'll see on on the right
4:29maybe another common one is running
4:30across the face of the offender
4:32or actually pinning the defender and
4:34maybe getting the ball down the side and
4:36a moving screen so all different options
4:39that you know we all need to know about
4:41as coaches different pictures
4:43that might occur and in that sense on
4:46the on the left
4:47sort of deeper are the type of passage
4:49you might need
4:50so you'll need clever passes maybe um
4:53which might be disguise passes
4:55um where it looks like one type of pass
4:57and then maybe reversed
4:59a reverse pass a scoop pass a chipped
5:01creative pass
5:02over or through the defense and you
5:05might get on the right those sort of
5:06runs from deep not just runs on the edge
5:08of the box so
5:09maybe a a wide player making a running
5:11behind or or um
5:13or a deeper player midfield player or
5:15defender making a run into the box
5:18okay um and then of course if you you
5:21know
5:22the quickest way is a pass for a run to
5:23get through um but that might not be on
5:25with good defending blocking it then you
5:27might need combinations
5:29where you can't get directly through but
5:31you might need to combine so that
5:33you've got the one two which might get
5:35you through and that could be not just
5:37in this position but anywhere around the
5:38box you're looking for a one-two to get
5:40in behind the defense
5:41or to get a space available it might be
5:44even a third man run
5:45where you play off say um a point here
5:48or play between
5:49two players and get a third pass and so
5:52that's a case of whether
5:55the receiver is really looking for the
5:57second pass he's not looking for the
5:58first pass but he's looking for the pass
6:00that goes in off someone else and then
6:02they make that third man run
6:04so that's another another one that's on
6:06that that first
6:07slide you showed of combinations in
6:09around the box
6:10another way to get through and of course
6:13there's dribbles
6:14that could be anywhere around the edge
6:15of the box um
6:17looking to get wide and get a crossing
6:19to get inside the box get those cut
6:21backs
6:21or it might be to get a shot off around
6:23the box or it might be a dribble that
6:25leads to a combination maybe or
6:27or a little pass through for someone
6:29else
6:31um next one we've sort of covered
6:33through is a variety of crosses
6:35so on the right you've got a cross sort
6:37of inside the box
6:39what they call it the inside box cross
6:43across the six yard box uh alternatively
6:45it might be a cut back
6:46you might be having a near post cross or
6:49across to the far post
6:51if the if that's blocked the the area
6:53with someone in the near post space then
6:55quite often a pass behind that space in
6:58it it's a sort of the second six yard
7:00box can be a dangerous area
7:02um particularly liverpool really good at
7:04these alexander arnold
7:05you know if someone's filling that near
7:07post space he'll cut it back across
7:09the second six yard box um
7:12might be an early cross behind the
7:13defense or in swinging crosses or
7:15crosses from deep
7:16so you've got a variety of ways to
7:18penetrate around the box
7:20and we just thought that would be good
7:21to sort of break down and
7:23and give um an idea of those pictures
7:27uh and the runs that people might want
7:29to make
7:31okay and then you know the last bit
7:33obviously a lot of those
7:34would be within the box so that would be
7:36i'm calling it a predator movement with
7:38inside the box
7:39and and basically a library of finishes
7:42you think of something like harry kane
7:43he's got a finish for
7:44every situation and a lot of those
7:46movements would be there
7:47blind side runs um little cut backs all
7:50those little
7:51um movements um you run across the front
7:55of the defender
7:56opinion the defender all those would
7:58also be happening inside the box
8:00and and the last one there is power
8:02shooting from the edge it might be
8:03cleared
8:04or a little uh a little dribble and a
8:06shot to get a power shot
8:09um and they it all comes back in
8:11together there's obviously a lot
8:12but we'd be working at them in sessions
8:15um to get a variety
8:17of options that you know that you're
8:19trying to get so without this
8:21a picture of these in your head it's
8:23very hard to design your sessions
8:25if you've got these pictures in your
8:26head then you you're more likely to be
8:27able to design realistic sessions where
8:29they might come up
8:30i mean obviously a lot of this pulled um
8:32determined on the defenders as well
8:34i mean yeah we're looking at you know
8:36all the different attributes and
8:37different skills
8:38uh that you need in around the box to to
8:40finish and and to be able to create
8:42space
8:43but ultimately with the defense in place
8:45determines where you move how you should
8:47move
8:47and that type of stuff yeah exactly and
8:49of course then you're looking also
8:51what we talked about in that model we've
8:53used before is the context you know
8:55what's the defender's strengths um as
8:57opposed to the forward is it a quick
8:58forward he gets across the near post
9:00or is a tall forward he comes to the
9:01back post and maybe gets a header in
9:03what's the strengths of weaknesses is it
9:05someone who drops off and
9:07and creates you know little pockets
9:08behind them and can play passage through
9:11so uh yeah it's all strengths and
9:13weaknesses against her opponent yeah
9:15okay so when i look at what are the
9:19solutions
9:20to the game challenges we've been
9:21finishing the attack phase obviously
9:22we've gone through some
9:24so if you just want to talk around the
9:26observational skills paul did before
9:27during our yeah this is something now
9:29that
9:30you know the guys on the course guys and
9:31girls on the course will will know
9:33a lot about hopefully by now they've
9:35been taking the 11 aside game and
9:37zooming in putting it under the
9:38microscope looking before during after
9:41receiving
9:42and in that sense looking at you know
9:43where does the where's the space
9:45for the defender what do they need to
9:47control what's the
9:49attacker try to exploit and we're trying
9:51to get those clear pictures the pictures
9:52we've just seen you know is it a blind
9:54side run is it a run across is it
9:56someone dropping off
9:57and we're trying to you know look for
9:59the spaces that they're trying to
10:00exploit
10:02okay we're just queueing a video for us
10:04please sorry
10:23so paul do you want to just talk us
10:24through um through what you see really
10:26yeah well first of all it's it's really
10:29clever play defensive play by
10:31by sterling to read the read the action
10:33and intercept
10:34and then you're looking at what's the
10:35relationship between the pass and
10:37receiver can he get the ball here kane
10:39he can't get it because the defender is
10:41blocking it
10:41but he's blind side of the defender
10:43which means he can make a deceptive move
10:46to check out and get the cut back and
10:48that's the signal then to the passer
10:51and now that he gets a quality finish to
10:53really arrange his feet quickly in his
10:55body
10:56and watch here his body position his
10:58foot works great and then he arranges
11:00his body quickly
11:02and makes sure that he stays on the ball
11:04gets the body in the right position
11:05there to keep over the ball
11:07look how he stays on the ball and holds
11:10his position in his contact there
11:12rather than leaning back and getting
11:13underneath the ball he's really
11:15uh making sure again the footwork here
11:18and then making sure that he adjusts and
11:20in the deal with the goalkeeper he's so
11:22close that the goalkeeper got no chance
11:24if he keeps it down
11:25um so yeah terrific play really
11:29yeah i mean huge i mean the connection
11:30between the two is brilliant now as i
11:32said the defender's kind of stood in the
11:33space where you kind of think that
11:35sterling may receive it
11:36play it uh to the left-hand side of the
11:38defender and then between the two of
11:40them you know it's like telepathy isn't
11:41it they've seen it there's no space
11:42there
11:43keynes then obviously identified the
11:44space on the outside and like you said
11:46the finish was sublime
11:48yeah so if we just go on to
11:52go on to the detail pool that we've just
11:53spoke about just looking from a
11:55from a different lens so to pass through
11:57you know on the on the quadrant here if
11:59we look at it
11:59what paul was just mentioned as pastor
12:01receiver relationship
12:03sterling where he's driving into where
12:05the yellow obviously equals their
12:06defender
12:07then you're looking at the way harry
12:09kane shifts from one part of the trident
12:11into the red part of trident now
12:12because that's the space that's where
12:14the space has been created for him on
12:15the blind side of the defender
12:17and obviously you know the technical
12:18execution for the finish and the keepers
12:21right across the front post obviously
12:22anticipating across from sterling
12:24mccain's finish has just sort of been
12:26able to play into an empty goal but
12:28under duress and the duress pressure
12:30really from the way the ball is played
12:32to him the balls are sort of behind him
12:34um you know knee over the ball um
12:36shoulder head down to keep the ball down
12:39so uh you know it was a brilliant finish
12:41paul yeah and i think this is um
12:43a good slide for us to sort of say the
12:45process that we're going to go through
12:48throughout the whole um session here um
12:51is the fact that we're gonna look and
12:52highlight step by step
12:54um the password and receive a
12:56relationship you know maybe put that
12:57under the quadrant and
12:58look at all the key factors involved in
13:00that at the same time
13:02will be happening at the same time a lot
13:04of the time that what's the duel with
13:06the defender
13:06by getting away from the defender you're
13:09sending the passer
13:10um you know certain signals to where you
13:12want the ball
13:13um but in that case he was really
13:15deceptive by being blindside
13:17quickly moving his feet and then the
13:19next part of it it will break it down
13:21into
13:22what's the duel with the goalkeeper
13:24we've had that the deal with the
13:25opponent
13:26now the duel with the goalkeeper what's
13:27he looking for and then the real
13:30technical execution once he's made his
13:32decision on on the finish and so that's
13:34how we'll break down each of these clips
13:36that we go through eventually yeah
13:40so what skills and attributes do players
13:41require in order to overcome the
13:43challenges that present
13:44that again presents themselves so again
13:47paul just going through your
13:48your key factors in your diagram here
13:51yeah just to repeat what we've done on
13:52the other
13:53courses um context is is basically the
13:56strengths and weaknesses maybe of
13:58of the the the players the opponent
14:02um and the attacking player what's their
14:04strengths how do they
14:05um use them against their opponent
14:08position
14:08yeah here obviously he's blind side um
14:11that what he's looking for but we look
14:13at the position the scanning
14:15how does he scan for the for the the
14:17password and receiver relationship he's
14:19scanning where the goalkeeper is he's
14:20scanning the position of defenders
14:22and then the footwork the movement and
14:24then deception here in this case it's
14:26blind side so the defender can't see him
14:28it's deceptive movement the timing at
14:31which he he makes the move
14:32and then of course the technique what's
14:34the actual finish in the end
14:35um what's the pass like as well because
14:37the pass was vital
14:39and to be left playable first time and
14:41then the technique
14:42to get over the ball and finish and
14:44we'll sort of go through that
14:46on each of our you know each of the ones
14:48we're looking at we're
14:49observing
14:54and yeah just to add in you know now we
14:56got to this stage in the course really
14:58all those things the position scanning
15:00movement deception time all those things
15:02they add up to anticipation and
15:04communication you know
15:06the communication of the body language
15:08of kane to say this is where i want the
15:10ball
15:11and the whole movement um but also the
15:14anticipation
15:15and to read where the defender is going
15:17to read where the goalkeeper will be
15:19all those type of things i think are
15:20inherent within that model yeah
15:25yeah and again as we're doing it we you
15:27know it's a systematic process
15:29you know to to look at from from head
15:31down
15:32and so we're looking from the head down
15:34because it's vital without without
15:35scanning and getting the information
15:37then we're not going to see you know to
15:39see the next part
15:40so we'd start with that systematically
15:43you know observe the the range frequency
15:45timing of
15:46the scanning skills that's absolutely
15:48vital the top players are looking all
15:49the time checking the goalkeeper's
15:50position
15:51checking the defender's head the
15:53position checking for
15:54the little signals from harry kane to to
15:57um
15:58to sterling and so on and and then you
16:01we're looking at the body position
16:02shoulders arms hips
16:04and the way that he dipped down his body
16:06to keep over the ball
16:07kane in that situation and the footwork
16:09to get him into into place and the
16:11stride pattern
16:12and the connection on the ball you know
16:14so we're looking at all those things
16:15very closely
16:17and um yeah just to recap again warren
16:20yeah
16:20so again just another way of looking at
16:22it so we just break it down for your
16:23process by process so
16:25obviously here here's the same um
16:27snapshot
16:28sterling about to to go in and win the
16:30ball
16:32so again his anticipation the keeper's
16:34played it he's read it really really
16:35well
16:36um and he's able to win it once he's won
16:39it's
16:40again the way we spoke about the past
16:41the relationship the pastor received a
16:43relationship
16:44so you know he's drove inside he's in
16:46the by line
16:47sometimes you know why players might
16:49want to cross early to finish at a near
16:50post
16:51but he's kind of kept his composure um
16:54and he's linked him with sterling
16:55obviously he's looked up to see sorry
16:56he's linked in
16:57to look up where kane is and because
16:59kane hasn't made that move and the
17:01defenders blocking the passing lane
17:02he's then anticipating as to where he
17:05may go to
17:06so obviously kane goes into that blind
17:08space in behind the defender
17:10so the jewelry defender it's made it
17:12easier for kane because
17:13not any point does the defender look
17:15around to see where kane is
17:17he's totally fixed fixated on where the
17:19ball and where sterling is
17:20so obviously he's able to run on the
17:22blind side of him so he beats his
17:23opponent
17:24the next one for me is the dual with a
17:26goalkeeper so again the keepers probably
17:28anticipating sterling to cross
17:30so he's probably over committed at the
17:31near post and once that ball's cut back
17:34kane's pretty much got a big gap in
17:36between the middle of the goal
17:37to score so his duel with a goalkeeper
17:39is he's easier because his technique's
17:41good
17:42and then finally we spoke about the
17:44technique and the technical execution of
17:45the finish
17:46so what always in a good position needs
17:49to be composed
17:50still needs to get he's as i said his
17:51knee and his head over the top of the
17:53ball to be able to finish calmly into
17:55the goal so
17:56there's the process that you're looking
17:57at so a great a great way of pressing
18:00higher
18:00winning the ball relationship between um
18:03parcel receiver
18:05draw your opponent uh dual with a
18:07goalkeeper and obviously
18:08executing the finish
18:12so what does the game look like within
18:14the game so again we're just gonna we're
18:16gonna watch a video so sorry if you
18:17could play the video for us please
18:51so again paul you just want to break it
18:53down and sort of talk through this clip
18:54for us please
18:55yeah well i think you've got three blind
18:57side runs first the winger runs blind
18:58side
18:59uh to get to get through here so that's
19:02a blind side run now
19:04um the striker here has run away and now
19:07just about to
19:07play the ball through and she's really
19:10she's created that picture she's
19:11revealed the picture she wants for the
19:13pass
19:14and of course you've got the the wide
19:15player here he's going to score he's
19:17also blind side
19:18of her marker and slides in and get a
19:20really good contact
19:22so i think it's worth just going back on
19:25that a second if i can get hold of it
19:28and i'll just drag it back slightly
19:31so if we look here as it comes in here
19:35we've already looked here at the uh
19:37striker but if we look at the fullback
19:39here she's also blind hat
19:41blindside here so that's highlighting
19:42the striker but the goal scorer here
19:45is blindside just a little bit offside
19:47here but just means look there she just
19:49sees now the defenders cena for the
19:51first time
19:52so again that blind side position that
19:54cunning you know being deceptive being a
19:56position to see the passer
19:58and to get that relationship with the
19:59passer but also to
20:01you know lose the defender and then she
20:03comes in and i think the finish is
20:05really good
20:06because she doesn't swing at it she gets
20:07a really good contact
20:09this cuts out the goalkeeper completely
20:12and it's a great position at the far
20:14post and yeah no swinging just bang
20:16really good contact with the foot
20:18to to make sure she stays on the ball
20:20yeah yeah
20:21very good play let me just load the next
20:24video for us please sir
21:00um
21:12so if we just look at this and we just
21:13look at eddie nikita who's just
21:16off the ball here so again you've got
21:18movement going forward he comes deep
21:20he looks there if you look at the
21:22quadrant now he's kind of getting first
21:23thing he's doing he's getting in between
21:24defenders
21:25and he's created space in behind by
21:27coming deep the way he spins on the bald
21:29air and takes it all in one motion is
21:31fantastic
21:32and just calmly gets across the defender
21:35and calmly finishes
21:37but if we go again and we look at
21:38another angle here and you can really
21:40see the way he sort of
21:42he takes the ball and kind of spins in a
21:43180 movement
21:45and doesn't lose any momentum but for me
21:48it's the first touch here in that
21:49quadrant
21:50when to come across the defender that
21:52opens up the goal scoring opportunity
21:53for me
21:55so this touch here that he takes now
21:58he's in control
21:59now the defender can't touch him and
22:01then now you're thinking about his jaw
22:03with a goalkeeper he sort of stays
22:04upright
22:05and he's able to slide in calmly
22:08so again here across the defender
22:12but here he looks up he knows exactly
22:14where the keeper is he knows his
22:16pressure from behind
22:17doesn't panic and just calmly just lifts
22:19it into that corner
22:21great great composure
22:29pull anything on there yeah it's a
22:31lovely goal isn't it i mean again
22:33taking it step by step those four parts
22:35the relationship with the passer
22:37you know he gets into space shows
22:39clearly whether
22:40where the pass can go he beats the first
22:43defender
22:43i think it's the four by being blind
22:45side and then the second defender the
22:48duel there
22:49he uses his body as a barrier by cutting
22:51right across him at that point this is
22:53brilliant play
22:54there's footwork there the technique and
22:56then i love this
22:57is you can't tell it's coming he's all
22:59in his stride so the the duel with the
23:01goalkeeper has great deception
23:03and he takes it close enough here but
23:04he's scanning the goalkeeper's position
23:06he looks up
23:07but you just don't know when he's going
23:09to play it just looks like another step
23:10this
23:11so the deception just looks like another
23:13step
23:14you know you don't know he's not really
23:16any extra back lift
23:17and he's got a position where the
23:19goalkeeper's no chance he's look how
23:21close he is
23:22the speed it beats him so you know the
23:25execution
23:26was superb to you know not break his
23:29stride not give any clues
23:31this um you know every section of that
23:34goal was
23:34was brilliant really yeah yeah top class
23:37slide you've got another clip for us
23:39please
23:45yeah and here's the password and
23:46receiver relationship he just
23:48peels out to give a little bit of space
23:50then he beats the defender with a
23:52little change of speed and direction
23:55and um and then beats the goalkeeper
23:58with pace but with
23:59brilliant accuracy so we see it here
24:01look now he's starting to
24:03give a picture to the to the passer
24:05reveal what he wants
24:06now drags it just that yard
24:10we'll see it again
24:14yeah opens up the space makes it clear
24:16where he wants it
24:17now he's got the defender just a little
24:19touch and it's the speed also the speed
24:21from
24:22he's dragged across with his right to
24:23that how quickly hits it with his left
24:25there's no leg it's touching hit as it
24:28comes across and that
24:29the speed of the of the hit and very
24:32little back lift really he's just
24:34bump hits it quick and i think he knows
24:37exactly what he's doing
24:38to try and aim it hard and fast and low
24:41and between the keepers legs
24:43you know the goalkeeper just can't react
24:44fast enough and i would say
24:46hurry kane you see him get him arrange
24:48his body into that position
24:51so many times the foot works right then
24:53he arranges his body
24:54so that that shot there is just a
24:57constant
24:58he can probably do that ten times out of
25:00ten ten times out of ten because
25:02you know if it was the far corner he was
25:04after he'd be hitting that
25:06um and that's what you need that sort of
25:09consistency of
25:10getting your body in the right position
25:12and you know staying on the ball
25:14in the right way to make sure it goes
25:16there so it's that little dragon then
25:18hit
25:18very very short back lift here it's not
25:20a big back lift
25:21you know it happens very quick i think
25:24also pulling when you look at when you
25:26talk about modern day goalkeepers you
25:28know
25:28strikers are sometimes now told you know
25:30to strike at the keepers because they'll
25:32spread themselves
25:33um and you know harry kane is totally
25:34aware that the keepers he's going down
25:36he's going to make himself big in his
25:38goal and ultimately gets a great
25:39connection he's able to put it for his
25:41legs
25:42yeah so it's a weak spot for the goalie
25:44because he's got a spread to push off
25:46and um you know he can't they can't move
25:48quick enough the speed at which he hits
25:50it so
25:51but also the queues for the goalkeeper
25:53because he touches and hits fast
25:55you know that one hitting there it's not
25:57like he gets to see a lot of cues as
25:59it's coming
25:59yeah um and harry kane will just know
26:02that's a stock finish from
26:03that position time after time after time
26:05after time so that
26:07also means you've got to you've got to
26:09get your session design
26:10to allow your strikers to get into that
26:12sort of position regularly yeah
26:15okay so what does this look like
26:19within the games obviously what we've
26:20just gone through
26:22so yeah
26:25i think when we're observing what they
26:27do these these top players
26:29then it is very useful to have this sort
26:31of quadrant idea it's it's not just on
26:33the floor but in the air
26:34because how do they arrange you got to
26:36look at how they arrange the body so
26:38um you know he just changes speed very
26:41slightly to drag it to his
26:43to his uh left and then the way he
26:45arranges his body bang or in the other
26:47clip
26:48where he he's taken the he's got the cut
26:50back from sterling the way he arranges
26:52his body
26:53within that quadrant you've got to
26:54really look at it because he leans
26:56forward in that clip to make sure that
26:58he gets the contact and he keeps his
27:00body position
27:01you know he keeps it stable he stays
27:04locked in in that body position so he
27:05doesn't hit the ball and then fall away
27:08he's locked in with his body position to
27:10make sure that
27:11you know it's not just where the ball
27:13will go will depend on the backswing
27:15but then the follow through so you don't
27:18want to follow through going underneath
27:19the ball in high
27:20so he he's brilliant harry kane keep him
27:23locked in
27:24and he's very consistent if you see him
27:26hit that type of shot
27:28right in the corner the far corner and
27:30he does it with both feet so that's
27:32again another lesson for our session
27:34design
27:34can we make sure that our forwards are
27:37getting opportunities to practice that
27:39against the defender and the goalkeeper
27:42from those sort of angles on a regular
27:43basis
27:44yeah i mean i think the key thing is you
27:45mentioned working off of both sides paul
27:47you know
27:48like has been able to have the balance
27:49to be able to strike comfortably off of
27:51both sides
27:52so creating that opportunity and
27:53training is essential isn't it
27:55yeah and i've read somewhere that harry
27:57kane from the age of about 16
27:59he had a period where he would only use
28:00his left foot in training
28:02or after training he was doing it so he
28:04was honing what he could do with his
28:06right
28:06make sure he can do with his left and
28:08that's the difference the top strikers
28:10can do it both sides
28:11you can get some really good strikers
28:13who are great on one side but can they
28:15do it on both
28:16he does it on both and he's got this
28:18secret of keeping the ball really low i
28:20think
28:24and yeah and this is just a revision
28:26really of the process that we've been
28:28through
28:28so what we've looked at is can we break
28:31down the assessment of what we're doing
28:33well okay we're using the quadrant as a
28:34guide sometimes in the cylinder
28:36we're using you know the key factors of
28:38context usually against what type of
28:40striker are they
28:42we're looking at position we're looking
28:43at scanning movement deception and so on
28:46um but we've broken it down also the
28:48process into
28:50right how does he get the pass in the
28:52first place from the passer
28:53so this was the one with sterling from
28:55the halfway line
28:56you see harry kane's inside his man but
28:59now once sterling gets space and breaks
29:01free
29:02he starts to run across so that was on
29:05the on the first diagram we had one of
29:06the runs across the face of the defender
29:09and on as he starts to do that you know
29:12on number three comes across the face of
29:14him four he's coming across
29:15five he's opening the space up six seven
29:18it's opened up
29:19ready for that space and so that would
29:22be the first part we're looking at
29:23of course while we're doing that the
29:25next part is you know that duel with the
29:27defender
29:28so in this this other example you know
29:31what is he doing
29:32or in the same example yeah once he gets
29:33into that he's already the jewel to
29:36create the space
29:37for the past but now can he create the
29:38space for the shot against the defender
29:41so he slows down he lets the defender
29:43come in up to number five
29:45and then at six and seven he starts to
29:47just drag
29:48and hit dragon hit quickly and then i
29:51think
29:51nine and ten show you like that how he
29:54stays locked in on that body shape
29:56um it really helps you with the duel
29:58with the defender so paul
30:00just just going back on to one and i
30:02spoke about you know
30:03and once you start putting defenders in
30:05there determines when strikers can go
30:07so yeah you've got one and the defender
30:09obviously isn't looking at kane because
30:10obviously he's looking at sterling
30:12driving forward
30:13yeah body position is obviously close to
30:16kane
30:16so kane's in control here he knows if he
30:18pulls the back of that defender
30:20because the defender is just watching
30:21the ball yeah potentially now be able to
30:23take a touch into the box to be able to
30:25finish
30:25which are yeah what happens exactly and
30:28that's why it is sort of you know
30:29it's vital he's looking at the defender
30:31constantly throughout because if the
30:33defender were to rush across
30:35he might cut back inside and go across
30:37the floor with the defender so you've
30:38got to be looking at the defenders
30:40movement all the time
30:41it might be it cuts back inside if the
30:43defenders sort of over covering or
30:45coming in too quick so yeah all of that
30:47comes into it
30:48um but yeah i think there's a great set
30:50of
30:51of clips to show you that duel with the
30:53defender yeah then we've gone on to the
30:55duel with the goalkeeper and
30:56again you know at this point number one
30:59he's just
31:00dragging it to the side away from the
31:02from the um
31:05from the defender but he knows straight
31:07away that look
31:08number two number three the goalkeeper
31:10is now about to get set
31:11jumping to get set so he knows
31:14that that strike that's he's about eight
31:17yards out his knee
31:18from uh from the defender from the for
31:20the goalkeeper so if he hits it quick so
31:22if the time between his touch with his
31:24right foot to drag it
31:26and and then he hits it left if that's
31:28quick it gives
31:29the um goalkeeper last time to get set
31:32he might still be moving
31:33he ca if he catches him while he's
31:35moving he can't push off as quick and
31:37adapt
31:38and then it's like the speed of it so
31:40the contact
31:41the way arranges his body you know his
31:43footwork first the way he arranges his
31:45body
31:46nope no doubt he's had a scan to see the
31:48keepers position
31:50uh i think one the you know this weekend
31:52the keeper
31:53left a space maybe high over his
31:54shoulder so that's another option
31:56high over your shoulder from an angle
31:58because it's difficult for the
31:59goalkeeper
32:00for from getting his hands down to up um
32:03can be a problem but in this case you
32:05know he stayed on the ball with that
32:06jewel the goalkeeper just gone hot
32:08hard and uh you know through his legs
32:11and i might hit the goalkeeper's leg and
32:12go in or
32:13go whiz past the outside of his foot um
32:16but i'm pretty sure he's aiming and he
32:19can hit it most times how he came
32:21right through the keeper's legs yeah
32:22yeah so i mean that's something that i
32:24mean
32:24there's no fluke here is there i mean
32:25this is something obviously harry kane
32:27had practiced constantly
32:28got to keep her in the box driving
32:30towards him keeper's going to make
32:31himself big
32:32uh where's the weak spot and you know
32:35and he finds it
32:36very well if you made that a really big
32:38sort of cylinder the duel between him
32:40and the goalkeeper
32:41then obviously the space is is from that
32:43distance
32:44with power the space is definitely
32:46through his legs or past his feet
32:48because he can't get his hands down
32:49quickly enough
32:50or it might well be over the shoulder so
32:52you're looking at what are the dangerous
32:53spaces to hit
32:55um definitely um and then we just look
32:58in the last one we're talking about this
33:00technical execution so those four steps
33:03we've broken it down
33:04so the drag to the right here um you
33:07know gets in the yard
33:08i think it's then the speed of the shot
33:11from dragging to hitting
33:12is important but then it's the you know
33:15how he keeps his body
33:16shape locked in and so it doesn't go
33:19over the bar he makes sure he keeps it
33:21low
33:21and he's a master at this obviously um
33:25the amount of goals he's scored like
33:26this is incredible and a great example
33:28for young players
33:29but also for our coaches to say you know
33:33he's got to make sure you hit it low and
33:35look at your body shape look how he
33:36stays locked in
33:37i think is a key thing yeah i mean just
33:40the way just the way he shifts the ball
33:41he's in control the whole time
33:42isn't it you know he shifts it to the
33:45side and when he gets his shot off
33:46there's not much time between
33:48him shifting out of his feet and him
33:49actually executing it yeah that speed's
33:51vital yeah
33:52yeah and then the speed of the shot it's
33:54fantastic
33:58so again just going through the going
34:00through the webinar to process the
34:01summary obviously there's loads and
34:03loads of detail
34:04uh given out there and you know my
34:05advice would be to go back through
34:07um go back through the recording and
34:09look at the stuff
34:10in and around the box because there's so
34:12much to look at uh so many combinations
34:15movement patterns feed patterns kind of
34:17communication between past the receiver
34:19so you know you know we've studied the
34:21the 1v1 dual uh using the quadrant
34:23observational tool
34:25to identify skills and movement patterns
34:27when we run jewels
34:28observe your players using the quadrants
34:30also it might just it might be the past
34:32of the receiver
34:32or the players on or around or away from
34:34the ball and utilize your observations
34:37uh when planning delivery and reviewing
34:38your sessions so paul i think you've
34:40done a fantastic job of uh
34:42of going through that and i you know i
34:44appreciate your your input for today
34:46and also the support behind the scenes
34:48with um
34:49with simon as well so thank you simon
34:52for that and hopefully you enjoyed that
34:54and
34:54look forward to seeing you all again
34:55soon cheers paul
34:57thanks a lot
