Key tips
• Concentrate on the ball, keep your eyes open and always be ready to score.

• Make sure you know where the goalkeeper is.

• Foot position is important, you have to attack the ball for power and get there before your opponent.

• Get yourself in the best position, be on your toes to find the best space around the defender.

• Always hit it with your forehead for power.

Džeko says ...
"Concentrate on the ball and try to head the ball where you want. Defenders always try to put you off, especially in England!"
