The Old SCORING Technique that's making a Comeback

There are thousands of ways to score a goal. Some require a tremendous amount of skill, some a combination of power and accuracy, and some involve being in the right place at the right time.
In today's video, we discuss one of the most effective finishes that became famous back in the early 2000s, thanks to Thierry Henry. This delicate, well-placed pass of the ball is often all it takes to beat the outstretched goalie. We'll also learn how to execute it with three simple skills you can practice the next time you're on the field. I hope you enjoy :)
Cheers Folks,
Tony

One of the issues is that you need to be very quick to take those extra steps running arouns the ball. If you've got very little time and space most players will use their weaker foot when the window to shoot opens rather than go around the ball.

I started doing this in the 90s. My original inspiration was Dennis Bergkamp. The way he could effortlessly open up his body, and sidefoot bend the ball into the top corner was legendary. Henry was also great at this, and I used to copy the way he cut the ball from left to right with the outside of his foot before immediately bending the ball into the far corner.

@STRIKAA313 7 ай бұрын

One thing Henry has said is that Mbappe is bringing it back, but also with his own spin. He open his hips as if to go far post, but goes near post instead. So whenever he bears down on goal and opens his hips, he makes the goalkeeper have to make a decision to save his near or far post

One criticism I'd have is that Henry and Haaland have the luxury of being one of the fastest players of their respective times. On Haaland's goal, the average striker might not have enough time to cut across the ball like that because the defender would be closer to them. Although this technique can be fruitful, it is still important not to neglect your weaker side. Make sure you have the time and space to open up like this before doing so.

@@TheCompleteGuitarist The problem you have described isn't inherently related to this specific type of shot though. The issue is that any move or shot will become predictable if you use it too often, and don't vary what you are doing enough to remain unpredictable. I use this shot fairly often, but I mix it up by going high and low, far post and near post, as well as using a variety of other types of finish, such as laced power shots, chip shots, fake shots, toe pokes, or whatever fits the situation. So, defenders and keepers have a hard time predicting what I'm going to do. The shot itself is not inherently predictable. The thing that is predictable is the person who doesn't vary what they are doing enough.

If the keeper cheats and tries to dive to that far side you can fake and go near post. Hazard was a master at that. Opening up like he was going for a far post finesse and actually finishing near post with power. Caveat is that you have to really sell the far post shot and wait for the keeper to fall for you going far

@jayhovasim 7 ай бұрын

You have to remember that in order to pull this off, you need to have room to run in behind and the pace to then have time to pull this off without pressure from a defender. That's why Henry and Haaland score(do) so many of those

My thoughts exactly. Everyone plays inverted these days -- is rare to see a winger or wide mid playing on their "strong" foot (ie, right footer on the right side of the pitch.) Part of the story of the death of crossing is most players can't pick out a pass on the move on their weaker foot.

It's a really good technique. However, we could also train kids to be able to use both feet. My dad always advocated this. Sadly, I was never any good at football, but I remember a P.E teacher from the local secondary school walking through the grounds of my primary school on his way back to work at lunchtime trying to get a bunch of us to practice with our bad foot. We stopped once he'd gone, but at least he suggests he would do this with the senior kids in training who might have had a bit more talent than the likes of myself and my buddies. I imagine they still do this, but not having kids, I don't know.

You got to watch out for the defender though. If you're clear through on goal, sure. But if a defender is 2 strides behind you, if you try to open up, no matter how fast you are, they'll catch up and either push you off the ball or put a foot in and scoop the ball out.

I also think lot of people underestimate how much time it takes for keepers to get down and block those low balls.

Shooting very high under the crossbar is better for scoring. The far top corner is the most difficult for the goal keeper of course. But a high powerfull shot near the center is also very difficult if the keeper is relativ close to you. So if you have the chance run close to the goal/keeper and shoot high. Most of the time the keeper comes close to you anyway. If you have time do a fake shot first. It disrupts the defender and keepers balance.

One of the reasons Henry’s method was so effective was he was able do this without fully opening his body out. Top, top keepers will take visual clues from how and where you’re going to strike a ball from things like your body shape and back lift - so fully showing pass to the corner would come at some disadvantage for most strikers. Yet Henry was excellent at concealing what we all knew he wanted to do, by staying front on and only flicking the passing wedge out at the last second.

i think most players nowadays are encouraged to use two feet always and even if they miss with their weak foot it’s good practice. I’ve always been pretty one footed with my left food and i don’t think i’ve ever shot with my right food, maybe 2/3 tap ins when it’s basically a pass into the next but whenever i go for power i use my left so i always do this when i can or i try to run right and cut back in or pass it. If i devoted myself to making my weak foot better years ago i’d probably do this less as i’d be more comfortable shooting with my right but i only ever think of shooting with my left so this is natural to me
