Aganist the wall

A bad decision may end up on a goal. And the outcome should never change the fact of being a bad decision. That is how this goal happened and then we add the fact of a fast thinking player. That also helps

As a reminder, Follow this steps:

1. Take a look at the video:
2. Read and think about the analysis.
3. Match the analysis and the video. Min 0:34

Let's dig in. We can see a transition from Igualada. It is a 3 on 3. Positional wise I think it is okay. And defence is quite high. Miguel Cañadillas (Igualada Nº67) had the ball and he took the decision to skate towards 9. Looking for the shoot. Spoiler alert. There is no need to take a shot in that situation. 

Cañadillas takes the shot. The shot is being covered by 2 defenders and extra stick and the goalie. When I say worth it or not I’m putting in a scale two options, goal and counter attack. And think which is more likely to happen. This is the key to good decision making. Remember that the view we have from the screen or the side is way different than the view inside. This is not an excuse to do a 1 vs 2 being the last attacker.

So the chances for that shot to go in the cage are minimum I will say. Let me rephrase it. The chances of the shot going in the cage are low. Imagine Cañadillas scoring a goal, as a coach I will ask him why did you shoot, that was too risky what did you see. In this case he did not, the ball rebounded on the defender’s skate and the counter attack started.
