⚡Deep Crosses: Catch, spin and distribute⚡
📒 This might not look textbook to most, but it’s extremely effective
✅ This is most effective when taking a deeper cross towards the back post
Look how efficiently Lee moves from catch to Distribution whilst in complete control of the ball by allowing his body to spin
As he takes the cross:
1️⃣ His body rotates slightly whilst securing ball
2️⃣ Upon landing, momentum is taking him backwards
3️⃣ Instead of trying to decelerate whilst moving backwards, uses momentum to go on attack by spinning out (the direction his body is naturally turning to)
✅ Follow your body’s natural momentum / path
⚠️ Trying to stop the body from doing this can cause more errors
‼️ You’ll not use this on every cross
✅ More of a natural movement
✅ Protects the ball (by shielding the ball)
✅ Allows you to get away from danger
✅ Decreases the chances of dropping the ball
✅ Allows you to find space to counter
Give it a try in training and let us know how you get on 😀
