Wing play, crosses | Tactical solutions and tips FIFA 07 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Cross is one of the tactic that allows to score a goal. In previous FIFA games, crosses almost always guaranteed a score. Here, it isn't a walk in the park (finally!), nevertheless, good wing play is just another advantage of a team.

Crosses requires midfielders (or even defenders) on the wings of the pitch. Formation presented below fulfils this necessity.

First of all, midfielder on the wing has to have the ball. If it is done, he's going along the side line, towards rival's box.

If rivals will try to regain possession, pass the ball to the nearest friendly footballer.

When you get next to the box with the ball, perform a cross. I advise you to kick the ball high instead of making a traditional pass on the surface of the pitch. The second option has sense when there's few rival players in the box. You can also twist the ball's flight.

If the cross is accurate and one of your strikers collects the ball, make a shot on target by pressing [D] or - if you use new configuration - [A]. Moreover, kicking the ball over the goalkeeper by pressing [Q] +[D]/[A] is also available.
