FAR POST.

This video is about understanding how to use the corner spaces outside the box.

These areas are not just positions to keep possession.

They are positions to create danger.

The reason is simple:

When you enter the corner space, your body orientation naturally gives you one of the best angles on the pitch to attack the back post.

Whether that is a shot or a pass, the opportunity is usually on the far side of the goal.

The center back responsible for the back post cannot easily see both the ball and the runner at the same time.

That creates uncertainty.

And uncertainty creates chances.

Right now there are moments where possession is recycled from these areas instead of being used to attack.

The next step is recognizing the picture earlier.

Lift your eyes.

Find the back post.

Look for the late runner or the striker arriving on the blind side.

Corner space.
Back post.
Create danger.

That is where a lot of a winger’s output comes from.
