Pay attention to the passes and the speed which the ball circulates at. Never lose control over the speed of the ball, speed up or slow down the ball’s speed. If we lose control over the speed of the ball the possibility of losing possession of the ball greatly increases.

Players need to be controlling the ball with one touch then turning and making an accurate pass with the other foot. The foot should cushion the ball as it is in the air when it comes so that it does not bounce off the foot and go out of the box. The most accurate pass will be with the side foot after making the turn from a good first touch.
