Drill

Instructions

3. 3Strike the ball with the front foot the instant it's out of the attacker's control.
4. 4Recover immediately whether the tackle wins the ball or not.

What to focus on

Striking the ball, not the attacker's legs, at the right moment.

Common mistake

Lunging from too far away and missing the ball entirely.
