Key takeaways for this lesson:
- Our target for finishing should be to go for a finish which has the best chance to score a goal. This is the case, when your shot is most accurate and powerful.
- To accomplish this, you have to set up the finish in the right way and also pick the right variant to shot on goal.
- Determining factors are your body position/angle towards the goal and with which foot your player will take the shot. This is discussed from 2:05 to 3:45 in the lesson.
- The driven shot (just press O/B) is a shot which can work in a lot of situations and is shown from 3:45 to 6:07. You can hit it straight, meaning you just shoot in the direction that you're looking to. But you can also shot it cross-body (e.g. your player has his body facing towards the near post, but you shoot to the far post).
- The driven shot and also the finesse shot can also be shot low, by powering up less than 40%. 6:07 to 7:40 in the video.
- For the finesse shot (R1/RB and shooting, 7:40 to 11:45 in the video) your body position should have a slight angle away from goal. When your body position is too central, it is tougher for your player to add curve to the ball.
- Additionally, you should also pay attention that the curve that the finesse shot adds will be away/around the goalkeeper and not towards him.
- The trivela or outside the foot shot (L2/LT and shooting, 11:45 to 14:15 in the video) is basically like a finesse from the other side and you avoid using the weak foot for this.
