Hi!I will give you some variations that I use a lot with my team.First of all is the pass to left side of your hitter/flicke?(which I'll [player A] to make it easier to understand.In this option player A instead of shooting passes the ball to his left side about a couple of meters inside the circle.Player B can either sweep or flick the ball one touch,the angle and the distance of shooting are changed than before and it's easier to score that way.I forgot to mention that player B can either be waiting out of this point when the ball gets ejected or he could be near player A so that you can make it easier for the opposite team to team because they wiil not know it before its to late.One thing that comes as a result of this variation is that player B can pass the to a player that runs to the right post instead of shooting.Since most of the teams use a defender at the left side of the goalkeeper they don't use another player to defend the player that is running for deflection so it's quite easy.The time that is needed for all this movement gives enough time for your running player to take a good place in the post so it should easy to score a couple of goals this way.Hope it helps!!
