Three players line up facing each other. Player 1 plays the ball into player two's feet. They meet the ball and turn before playing a wall pass with player 3, and once the ball has returned, player 2 then shoots first time.
Make sure player 1 shouts turn as the ball is played into player 2.
Player 2 comes to meet the ball on the half turn and plays the ball into player 3, signalling where they want the return ball.
Make sure the defender is committed to player 2 before passing the ball to player 3. Use body feint to send the defender the wrong way.
