When Fernando Torres left Liverpool for Chelsea in January 2011, the Stamford

Bridge faithful were expecting a torrent of goals. But despite costing £50 million, what they got was a shadow of the player who scored 81 goals in 142 games for the Reds.

With just one goal coming from his first 14 appearances, Torres was struggling. After all, no player has more weight of expectation on him than a striker. And the longer that striker goes without scoring, the weightier the expectation becomes. That’s certainly the case at the top of the game with thousands of people watching you and judging your performance each week.

But consider too the pressure on your young striker, who might believe he’s letting down his team-mates, his parents and himself.

Of course, there are plenty of mental tricks you can do to talk a

player up, but there is nothing better than getting him back in the habit of scoring again. Torres knows this. “A striker always wants to play,” he said earlier in the season, “and if you play more, you have more chances to score and you have more confidence.”

He couldn’t have been more right. Torres got back in the scoring habit after being reunited with his former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez in November, scoring seven goals in the six games before Christmas.

“He’s a striker,” agreed Benitez. “He needed to score goals. The team is doing well, he’s having more chances, and he has more confidence as a result.”

But Torres knows it’s his continued hard work that will ultimately help him to banish any talk of another goal drought. According to the man himself, it’s all about “training better and harder, playing better and

harder – and scoring more goals.”So to help any misfiring strikers

along, we’ve got a fantastic shooting exercise called Striker (p4) plus our brilliant Golden Boot game (p5). The next time the goals dry up for your strikers, give them a go and see if you can stop a dry spell from becoming a drought.

Every striker will go a few games without scoring, so to stop weeks turning into months you need to work on getting your player finding the net again as soon as possible

Issue 299 SOCCER COACH WEEKLY 3

Call a meeting of parents at the beginning of the season and set out your ground rules, explaining why certain kinds of behaviour are not acceptable. Good communication is essential to preventing disruptive behaviour and you have to let all the parents know exactly what is expected of them throughout the season.

The law of averages suggests that with every team you’ll have at least a few parents who are likely to disrupt the smooth progress of your players. If you want a trouble-free season, follow our six-step plan to taming them…

Tame Problem Parents In Six Steps

THE ART OF COACHING

Encourage disruptive parents to attend training and help them to understand the reasons behind your decisions. They’ll hopefully get to understand your philosophy on such things as competitive football and equal playing time. Also try to involve them more in putting the team together. If they feel they are really a part of the set-up, they are less likely to be disruptive and more likely to behave and set an example.

If some parents are still acting like every match is the World Cup Final, put a stop to over-competitive shouting at matches. Then talk to the parents as a group and ask for positive, measured comments to all aspects of play. Let them know that if any of them have a suggestion or notice a problem – during a match or at any other time – they are free to discuss it with you in private.

If you feel that a parent is continually undermining the harmony of the team and refuses to take any notice of your rules, you must avoid having a confrontation in front of the players at all costs. As a last resort take the competitive parents to one side and tell them they are destroying the harmony of the team. Make them aware that they need to either shut up or leave.

Turn your ground rules into a formal Parents’ Code Of Conduct, outlining the kind of encouraging behaviour that you would expect from a touchline parent and the kind of disruptive conduct that you would not. Send the parents a copy and ask them to formally sign the document to show they agree to abide by the rules.

Better-informed parents are much better behaved so try and hold regular meetings and keep everyone updated with the progress of the team and the rules of the game. Talking to parents before each season is essential but talk to them at the end of every session or match as well and reference their child’s contribution.

Sharpen up your players in front of goal with this devastating attacking practice that gives them so many chances to shoot they can’t help but score

StrikerWHY USE ITThis session will put a stop to wasted chances up front. It allows your players to experiment with their technique and get used to hitting the target with a snap shot or when finishing off a move.

SET UPUse the penalty area of the pitch you play on or recreate it with cones. The session uses nine players plus a keeper. You need lots of balls, bibs, cones and a goal. You needs to start each sequence with the first pass from off the pitch.

HOW TO PLAYSplit your group into three even lines A, B and C and start with your pass to A. Run the drill as described and the players should work at a quick pace, speeding up as the session progresses. Keep a count of the number of shots they take in 30 seconds and try to beat it each time.

TECHNIQUEPlayers should use their arms for balance and plant the standing leg next to or slightly behind the ball, striking it just below the centre. Coaches should look for players to use different parts of their foot (or their forehead with shot four) and make the correct runs with good delivery of passes.

To finish, A and C take up position to try to score from a cross by B

The moment A shoots is the trigger for B to dribble the ball through the cones and shoot before he gets to the

penalty spot

At the end of the sequence the players collect their balls (hopefully from the back

of the net) and each player joins the back of the next line: A to B, B to C and C to A

After shooting, B then runs behind column C and down the wing. He places one of the waiting balls ready to cross

You start with a pass to first player at A, who shoots at goal (first time or with a touch to control), then runs around his cone ready to make a diagonal pass

While B is running to the wing, player A passes diagonally to an advancing C, who shoots at goal

Elite Soccer is the world’s leading coaching monthly magazine. In an exclusive deal with the League Managers Association (LMA), we publish the training secrets of professional managers such as Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsène Wenger and Roberto Mancini, to show coaches what they do on the training ground so they can recreate a professional training session with their team.

You can use Elite Soccer sessions with an amateur team on a Thursday evening just as easily as professionals can use them on a training ground.

The only e-magazine in which the top managers and coaches in the English Premier League share their training sessions.

What do I get the players to do?Use one defender, one attacker, two midfi elders and two wide players. This is a two-ball routine.Positioned outside the D of the penalty box, the midfi elder links with the striker and has a shot.With the second ball, the other midfi elder switches the play out wide. The two wide players combine and put a cross in for the inrushing forward and attacking midfi elder. The defender tries to clear the ball.The crosser must be aware of the defender’s position. As a coach you can make the defender defend either the near post or back post cross.

MANCHESTER UNITED

Sir Alex FergusonAttacking wing play and shootingOverview:This session is about attacking from three different positions and is something that offers versatility in the fi nal third, which is always essential.We begin with shooting from outside the box, setting up opportunities for powerful accurate shots into the net - we have seen this come off many times, with Paul Scholes’ memorable goal at Fulham this season a perfect example.Moving on, we look at quick, instinctive interplay on the wing, fi nishing with a cross into the danger area. Plus we examine the roles of attacking fi rst and second waves of crosses.It’s essential to practise these in order to fi ne-tune the movement of strikers, quality of delivery,and inventive combinations on the wing.This is a powerful and insightful session that encourages players to practise hard, perfect their roles and reinforce habits, and is at the heart of why we are regarded as such a potent attacking force in the Barclays Premier League.

Sir Alex FergusonMANCHESTER UNITEDIn November this year, Sir Alex Ferguson CBE celebrates 24 years in charge of Manchester United. The Glaswegian is the longest-serving and most successful manager in British football, having clinched 43 trophies for the Red Devils.

His early years in management saw him enjoy spells at St Mirren and East Stirling, before joining Aberdeen in 1978. His record of 10 trophies in seven years signalled the most successful period in the Dons’ history, and after managing Scotland at the 1986 World Cup, United came calling.

It took him four years to secure a fi rst major honour south of the border – the 1990 FA Cup – and a further three to land the Premier League title. But Ferguson hasn’t looked back, winning a further nine league championships and numerous other domestic honours, plus the European Cup twice.

He has also been named England’s Manager of the Year nine times, the LMA Manager of the Year twice, plus the Manager of the Decade for the 1990s.

On the wings, rhythm and fl ow of passing is essential, and players must protect against mistimed runs or erratic passes. The strikers in the middle must be mobile and versatile – they must run to the near post and far post, whilst still being prepared to receive passes in and around the penalty spot or further back.

How would you put this into a game situation?Work this into a 10v10 game (including goalkeepers) across a half-pitch, marking out two wing channels.Only one defender can enter the wide zone to defend the cross. This encourages 2v1 situations on the wing and ensures many crosses into the penalty area.The approach should be varied, sometimes attacking down the wing to fi re a cross into the six-yard box, on other occasions cutting back inside to set-up a long-range shooting chance.If a ball from the wing is delivered into the box, players must fi nish using one touch. Award two goals for crosses that fi nish with a header or a volley. If the defending team wins possession, they break upfi eld.This game would usually last 45 minutes. The training session in total takes 75 minutes.

How do I progress the session?Progress this session to a three-ball routine with a complete back four plus a defensive midfi elder to defend. Add wingers on the other side on the pitch and an extra attacker and midfi elder.The midfi eld players now work in pairs. Together with the striker, they try to outplay an opponent in order to get a shot on goal. The attacker who previously laid the pass off can now spin away from his marker and shoot. Strikers should run in anticipating rebounds.In the next phase, the full-back must try to stop the wide men from crossing. The wide men must try to outplay the full-back in a 3v1 situation.When this ball goes dead, the opposite wide men put another cross in for the attackers and defenders to react to.Defenders and strikers must always readjust their positions to deal with the next ball arriving. The aim is to make the routine more competitive and, at the same time, demand more creativity and unpredictability in forward play.What are the key things to look out for technically/tactically?We are looking for accuracy of passing and fi nishing, plus a variety of crosses.
