Not only does Gyokeres take finishes on early, not giving keepers time to react, he hasn’t got a refined process to how and where he shoots, so keepers can’t even read the direction they think the ball is going to go, so they can’t get themselves correctly set.

A little bit like “if the striker doesn’t know where he’s aiming for, neither does the keeper”

The first and third goals this week for Sweden show this. The keeper is getting set for where he thinks the ball is going to go, but Gyokeres doesn’t have the refined process to put the ball there, he just kind of hits it early, roughly where he wants it to go…

…so the keeper can’t read much from how he approaches the finish, so before you know it, keeper has dived one way, the ball deflects in off a stranded leg going the other way etc.

But this approach to finishing only works if you take finishes early, and have so much belief in your ability to force the ball into the back of the net. Law of attraction
