Be the complete striker: Combine and finish
Try the tiki-taka route to attacking heaven
This is the kind of drill that you imagine Guardiola and Wenger sides practice until their players have developed near psychic ability to locate each other in the box: precision, well-weighted passes that bamboozle defenders and allow the lucky last man to pass the ball into the net.
