That was my first impression too, think I counted one save!
Pretty standard end-of-session training these days mate. It achieves a few things:
- Gets the keepers working. they'll have spent the prior hour diving about on their arse, so this gives them real shots.
- Gives the players an enjoyable session to finish with. Key in training is not to let shit just peter out. By finishing with shooting or small-sided games, everyone's enthusiasm stays up.
- All the players are doing short sprints. They won't notice it, but it's actually high-energy workrate over short spaces - exactly the optimal training you want to get into players.
- Gets them practising their shooting. They're intentionally close to the keeper and the nets cos that's 'match-simulation'. In the bygone days, you used to have to whack it from outside the box in training, but no one ever scored, and it's not realistic - there'll never be a time in a game when you don't have to shoot past an array of players in the box from 25 yards out.
- Shows the coaches who can actually finish. You learn a lot from these things - and it's usually that the natural goalscorers come to the fore. I remember watching a training video in one of my C-License classes of Man United training about 10 years ago or something, and doing that exact same shooting drill, and Solskjaer never missed one. Every other cunt was doing a Lovren there and trying to whip it into the top corner like a hero. Solskjaer just kept placing it in the corner - which he then transferred to matches.
Anyway, you probably knew most of that but there you go.
Oooh I did bullet points, didn't even mean that. Fancy!
They would face 200-300 shots each in that session. They'd be completely fucking exhausted.
I meant the throwy, heady one.
Oh, hadn't even watched that one.
Yep, happens at every club in just about every session.
There'll be some basic rules that you have to have combined at least 2 headers before you can 'score', and there'll be no goalkeeper.
Essentially same principles as any training ground drill; everyone's moving continuously. Watch the vid - they're all shifting around, and they're all laughing and enjoying themselves. The best training is when the players don't even know they're working.
You're not actually trying to achieve anything technically here, just to get people moving and to have them training relatively hard without knowing it.
The clip had another headline aswell, Goals, which kind of indicates that they didnt add to many saves into the video 😉
Ye train dogs Ruan.
Who is the bald black guy in the green bib?

Uh oh.... Karius' and Firmino's hair.
Given the replies and the fact it was Off Topic, I'd say it was .. split from the original thread..
