Player 1 delivers a high, deep corner to the back post where Player 9 attacks the ball, aiming to head it back across the six-yard box. Players 5, 4, 3, and 6 time their runs to arrive in the far-post target zone, ready to finish the knockdown. Player 2 positions for and reacts quickly to any second balls dropping around the edge of the area. Player 7 occupies the goalkeeper’s line of sight to make claiming the initial cross more difficult, while Player 8 makes a decoy movement to pull defenders out of the target zone.
