Corner Kick - Crowding the Goalkeeper
This attacking corner kick is designed to crowd the space in which the goalkeeper can attack the ball.
Four big players are positioned around the goalkeeper. Players can raise their arms to show to the referee that
they are not infringing the goalkeeper. Generally the opponents four biggest player will mark them. This creates
a lot of traffic and a major problem for the goalkeeper. With so many players around the goalkeeper he cannot
catch the ball from a one footed take off. The keeper is forced to jump with both feet, thus reducing the height
he can obtain to catch the ball. The corner kick is a fast paced "in swinging kick" placed into the crowd around
the goalkeeper.
Three players are strategically positioned around the outside of the penalty area to look for any rebounds or loose balls
.
