🎯 Routine Overview This free-kick routine uses layered deception to disguise the true shooting option until the last moment. Players 1, 2, 3, and 4 stand over the ball to keep defenders guessing. Player 4 makes the first run, drawing the defensive wall’s attention. Player 2 passes to Player 1, making it appear as though they will lay it off to Player 4. Instead, Player 3 begins their run as Player 1 plays a first-time pass into their path for an immediate strike on goal. Players 10 and 5 position themselves to block any defenders rushing out, while Players 8 and 9 are ready to follow in for rebounds and second balls. ⚽ Player Roles: Player 1 – Receives from Player 2, disguises the pass, and plays first-time into Player 3’s run.
