Concentration on variable and precise passing on the ground with the instep. After losing the ball the defence has to pressurize the opponents trying to defend the goals with the aim to win the ball back.

- Diminish (more difficult) or enlarge (easier) the field size
Tip
Is a player covered by an opponent and therefore not available he has to move in order to be open for the pass.
