When your team has a corner it should result in a
goal scoring opportunity. But very often it can result in frustration
instead as a great ball comes flying in across the box and everyone
ducks or swings and misses.
If your team find it hard to connect with a traditional corner kick why
not try this simple tactic.
Have a player stand on the corner of the 18-yard box. He should be a
player who can just appear in that position without the opposition
picking him up, but often he will be left unmarked anyway because he
doesn’t look as though he is threatening the goal.
But, he is threatening the goal. He should be ready for a quick pass
from the corner-taker. He can then open himself up so he is facing the
goal and play the ball left, right or even shoot.
This soccer tactic also gives your team more options when the penalty area is
crowded as a simple pass out to a player on the edge of the box will
pull the defenders out and create space for a pass across the box to an
attacker who now has a clear sight of goal.
