only way to do that is by altering the stroke *.atr files.
It would then come down to your timing of the shot.
eg
a-cc017.atr (forward defensive)
keyframe 1 - slightly late shot - have shot direction -3rd man
keyframe 2 - prefectly timed shot - shot direction - cover
keyframe 3 - slightly early shot - have shot direction -fine leg
The above is just an example of what you could do. But if you did the above, you would then know that if you played your defensive shot slightly late , the ball would be steered down somewhere in the direction of 3rd man.
