Fake Shot Decoupling to Created-Space Strike

Cut inside into the cone square, convincingly sell a fake shot with eye contact, high back-lift, and planted non-kicking foot to freeze the defender, take an extra touch into open space, and finish.

Key points

  • Cut sharply into the square and aggressively wind up the shooting leg with the non-kicking arm raised
  • Chop/push the ball an extra step past the lunging defender into open shooting space
  • Release the shot rapidly on the second touch before the defender can recover balance

Common mistakes

Taking a casual, half-hearted fake shot that fails to commit the defender, or delaying the final shot too long after the extra touch.
