Short Corners for 5 aside
When doing 5 aside matches the routine is to launch it into the area and hope it hits someone on the way in. Normally this is cut out at the near post or goes out for a throw-in.
for this routine, it's a simple one-two and then a shot from a better angle.
Player A passes to Player B
Player A then overlaps Player B and waits for the pass.
Player B draws the defender in before passing to Player A
Player A has a touch and a shot from a better angle.
This will get found out easier so you can alternate the play. Drawing the defender to cut out the pass, fake and then Player B runs into the box.
Another strategy to combat getting caught out is to
Player A passes to Player B
Player A then overlaps Player B and waits for the pass.
Player Bpasses to Player A ( but if cut off by defender)
Player Apasses back to Player B
