This session has been inspired by John Terry and his love of defending. We will look at the ying to the yang, and look at 1v1 domination from a defensive viewpoint.

The ability to create chances from wide areas is extremely useful, especially when playing against an opponent who can neutralise your attack through the middle. Experiment with various crossing techniques in the air and along the floor, in the words of Pep Guardiola: A low, hard cross is half a goal!
Details
Drive towards the defender and when close take a big step across the ball and explode with the outside of the other foot in the other direction. Most effective when coming in at an angle making the disguise as big as possible.
Details
Work on your first touch by moving the ball and exploding performing various turns, big touches before shooting on goal. Repeat on weaker foot.

Play a 1-2 with the wall, pivot and let the ball run across your body. Receive on the back foot and explode with 1 big touch through the gates before shooting with laces into the goal.
Details
This requires a larger space as the touches are bigger and require running with pace. It involves rolling the ball across your body exploding through a gate and shooting with laces into the goal. Multiple outcomes to mimic a game situation.
Details
A practice which does not involve touching the ball but a combination of a fake and body movements to lose the opposing player. Roll the ball ahead of yourself. Perform a big fake and step over the ball. Step the same foot back over the ball immediately and explode out in the same direction.
