The finishing process is essential for a soccer team. Knowing when to attack, how to attack, and being relentless in finishing are important aspects for teams that want to stand out on the leaderboard.
In a soccer game, the finishing process is not always only dependent on the attackers and, many times, the whole team is positioned to attack. Therefore, it is essential to train the submission of all team members.
In this way, we have prepared a new video with finishing exercises to help you prepare focused training sessions to exercise your team’s finishing exercises.
