How to Score More Like Benjamin Šeško

Benjamin Šeško has quickly become one of Europe’s most exciting young forwards — tall, powerful, fast, and incredibly efficient in front of goal. His style mixes smart movement, explosive acceleration, and calm finishing. If you want to score more goals like Šeško, focus on developing the habits and skills that define his game. Here’s how.


1. Master Off-the-Ball Movement

Šeško’s biggest strength is how he moves before the ball even arrives.

What to improve:

  • Timing your runs: Wait, scan, then explode into space at the perfect moment.

  • Diagonal movements: Start wide and attack the space between center-backs.

  • Stay unpredictable: Mix short checks toward the ball with sharp sprints behind defenders.

This creates the separation you need to finish comfortably.


2. Use Your Body Like a Target Forward

Šeško protects the ball extremely well.

Focus on:

  • Shielding under pressure using your shoulder and hips.

  • Holding off defenders to create space for your next touch.

  • Receiving with purpose — control the ball into the next action, not just to stop it.

A strong first contact helps you stay composed and dangerous near goal.


3. Develop a Quick, Clean Finishing Technique

Šeško doesn’t overcomplicate his shots — he picks his corner and strikes early.

Training tips:

  • Two-touch finishing: Control → finish, no wasted movement.

  • First-time shots: Practice hitting cutbacks and crosses without stopping the ball.

  • Low, driven finishes: Aim for the posts; these are hardest for keepers.

The goal is efficiency, not power.


4. Improve Your Aerial Dominance

At 1.95m, Šeško is a constant aerial threat — but height alone isn’t the reason.

Improve:

  • Timing your jump, not just jumping high.

  • Attacking the ball forward, meeting crosses with momentum.

  • Directing headers to the far post, where keepers struggle.

Work on headers consistently — they add goals that other forwards miss.


5. Build Explosive Speed & Acceleration

Šeško’s long strides and fast acceleration help him escape defenders.

Train with:

  • Short sprints (10–20m)

  • Resistance band accelerations

  • Change-of-direction drills

Explosiveness creates breakaway chances and makes your movement unpredictable.


6. Stay Calm in One-on-One Situations

Šeško rarely panics — his finishing looks simple because he stays composed.

Practice:

  • Approaching the goal with controlled speed

  • Reading goalkeeper positioning

  • Opening your body for inside-foot finishes

  • Delaying your shot to make the keeper move first


A calm striker is a deadly striker.

7. Work on Link-Up Play

Šeško contributes more than just goals — he connects play.

Improve:

  • Wall passes

  • Fast give-and-go combinations

  • Playing with your back to goal

  • Dropping into midfield at the right moments

A striker who can combine with teammates becomes harder to mark.*


Final Thoughts

Scoring like Benjamin Šeško isn’t just about shooting — it’s about movement, intelligence, timing, and efficiency. If you train consistently on your off-the-ball runs, finishing, strength, and decision-making, you’ll start creating more chances and finishing them with confidence.
