🎯 Routine Overview This routine creates space at the back post by pulling defenders away with decoy runs from players starting deep inside the six-yard box. As the corner is taken, Players 8, 4, and 7 begin in close proximity to the goalkeeper before moving away from the target zone, taking markers with them. Player 3 initially sits as defensive cover but makes a delayed run into the wide channel to receive a short, angled pass from Player 1 and deliver a first-time cross to the back-post target zone. Player 2 times their run perfectly to attack the cross, while Players 9, 5, 6, 8, 4, and 7 provide blocking movements and are ready to pounce on rebounds. Player 10 remains deeper as the genuine defensive cover to guard against counterattacks. ⚽ Player Roles: Player 1 – Corner taker, plays an angled pass into the path of Player 3’s run.
