Cross (soccer ball)
In football, a cross is a pass from one of the two side lines into the opposing penalty area .
The ball is usually hit with the inside span . This way of hitting the ball gives the ball a spin that influences its trajectory (see Magnus effect ). The ball can turn towards or away from the goal in the air. The back position of the flank giver and the shot strength determine the height of the flank. By mitgegebenen from Crosser Effet it is extremely difficult for the goalkeeper to assess the incoming given edge.
The corner joint is a special form of the flank , but only if it is not executed "short".
In the broadest sense, when the game is shifted in midfield with a high cross pass, one can also speak of a cross.
Flat cross passes in front of the opposing goal can also be designated as flanks. In Austria such flat cross passes are known as Stangl passes .
