Beautiful

Beautiful

This goal surprised me to be honest. From both sides. And the end result as well. A recently promoted team beating a team that is expected to be on the top. I know it is the beginning of the league. But I can see some intentions here. Lets see if the promoted teams can stay in the OkLiga one more season.

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 2:23

The first touch of the ball here is for Victor Creso (Lloret N37). What he does is simple. He is moving the ball towards the side. Always leaving some space with the defender. If we stop here, we can see one player at the opposite side, one player around him. It looks like it is going to put a block on him and the fourth player in the area. 

I'm getting used to doing this kind of snapshot of the beginning of the play. As I think the position of the player at the beginning is extremely important.

Crespo skates towards the wall opening the space. The player around him is Django Matthieu (Lloret N9) and he actually put a block on him. Noia’s defence manages to defend the block. That good that the only option Crespo has is to pass to the player at the bottom corner. Crepo, cuts to 9. Django rolls towards the ball.

The 4th player at the weak side is cutting in as well. Following the blog but when Crespo and Django are cutting in. He stops and balances the defence. Kudos for you mate.
