Set-up

Two corner routines installed: (1) near-post flick-on with Cruz arriving late at far post; (2) Moreno inswinger to the 6-yard box with Carter and Novak attacking zonally. Walk through each at no pace, then add passive defenders, then semi-active defenders. Three reps of each routine per group.

Coaching points

  • Moreno: delivery decides everything — practice the inswinger to the near third of goal, not the keeper's hands
  • Cruz: time the run so you arrive as the ball does; early arrivals get blocked, late arrivals miss
  • Carter: you're our best aerial threat — win the first ball, don't gamble on the second

Progressions

  • Add a full goalkeeper and four live defenders to the near-post routine
  • Trial a short-corner variation with Moreno and a wide midfielder as a decoy to open the inswinger
