A big, bustling striker, Warren Johnson certainly makes life difficult for opposition defenders with his aggressive, direct style of play. He links up play excellently in the final third whether he has his back to goal or has turned and is running through opposition defences. He loves to get his name on the scoresheet, averaging over a goal per game!

 * __PRIDE Development__**

As a centre forward, you should try to: 


 * Play just in front of the opposition’s last defender
 * 'Show' for the midfielders to receive the ball to feet
 * Be strong, hold up the ball for 3-4 seconds and pass the ball to the wide players and the offensive midfielder, reatining possession in the final third
 * Play quick one twos with the attacking midfielder
 * Stay within the goalposts in the centre of the pitch to occupy the centre-backs
 * Win headers against opposition centre-backs
 * Finish crosses successfully from wide players and score goals
 * Play one-twos with wide players/offensive midfielder to retain possession
 * Turn and run at opposing centre-backs, shooting from long range or playing other players in
 * Pressure opposition defenders when they have the ball to regain possession
 * Make lots of movement in the area on set pieces and open play to 'pull' the defence and open up space

 * Targets**: Stay in front of the last defender and between the goalposts in the centre of the pitch (not going out wide!), control and hold up the ball by being strong and pass successfully to other players, make a lot of movement in the box on corners to distract the opposition, improve attacking heading skills
