Liceo vs SHUM (3-3) | HIGHLIGHTS OK LLIGA
The start of this play is really simple. Just the kick off of the second half. Liceo’s positioning is classic. Nothing fancy. On the start Nil Cervera (Liceo Nº2) passes and cuts. The cut is like a fake cut. Nil comes back to 0, while both wings advance slowly.
Cesar (Liceo Nº5) is the one with the ball. And he skates towards one side, the opposite Cervera skates to. This is smart, Cesar is avoiding the accumulation of defenders on one side. Smart isn’t he?
Dava (Liceo Nº8) screens Cesar on the side. I don’t know how to explain a screen. We can say that it is a kind of block while we are moving, not aiming for contact just be on the way. This is a perfect example of a screen. Just another tool.
After the screen Cesar flick-shots towards the goalie. Look carefully, he is not aiming a big shot, just put the ball quickly on the goalie. Just a test I will say. Let me pause the video here.
Nil is at 0, Dava on the top corner, Cesar at 3 and Bruno Saavedra (Liceo Nº13) on the weak side. No one is on the way. Everyone is in one space, looking for a chance. The goalie stops the ball and clears it out. If you are a goalie, you should know that, you have to clear the ball out towards the corners. That is a non-written rule for goalies.
