Try to combine quickly off minimal touches Create space to combine Movement to lose and unbalance defenders in order to receive and combine with teammates

Keep your arms out at all times when dribbling around defenders. You can use them to brush past players, improve your balance, and keep players farther away from you. Good balance will help you cut quickly in any direction while retaining control of the ball. Land on the front of your feet every step, whether you are dribbling forward with your laces or cutting across your body using an inside touch.

Try to move the ball quickly, using a maximum of one or two touches. Try to get players to use one touch passing and only to depend on a second touch when they have to control a poor pass. When we make the pass between the lines to the attackers it should be a firm pass.
