This drill is to encourage interplay between attacking players making a goal scoring opportunity from the wing. The diagram shows the no.2 starting and finishing the move after inter-play between the other 3 players.
This drill cannot be too prescriptive but a few things should be encouraged.
1. Ask the player that starts the move to finish the move..
2. Ask them to consider coverage, especially if no. 2 is the starting and finishing player
2. The starting player changes after each attempt, but from a different point within the parallelogram (marked out by 4 red cones).
3. After observing the players, encourage the following:
- Intensity (this is not a slow jogging drill)
- Quick passing as well as movement so as to catch the opposition out of position
- Come to the ball interchange positions within the marked area
- Body position is very important
- A second marked out area can be introduced on the opposite wing running simultaneously
- Introduce 1 then 2 defenders.
- Remove requirement for the starting player to be the shooting player.

Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider. Here is how the modern set-piece specialists design attacking corners, free kicks, and throw-ins - and how you can apply their ideas at any level.
The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
