Crossing and finishing can be a difficult skill but it can be simple if executed correctly. This type of play can be used when the attacker has been pushed out into the wider play. The ball into the box can be hit with pace or could be floated into the box with less power.
Finishing from a corner or a cross can be difficult but if the attacker can lose the defender or get above his opponent he can apply the finish. The corner needs to have night and pace applied so the attacker can move onto the ball.
One way to improve on finishing the cross is by putting power behind the ball to make sure the keeper can’t save it. Other way of finishing the shot is by placing the shot first time out of the keepers reach. This makes it hard for the keeper to adjust to make a save. Another way too apply the finish is too put the ball on the keepers weaker side (the side that the goalkeeper has less momentum going too) so it makes it extremely hard or impossible for the keeper to adjust or get back into position.
