Positioning and Movement: • Players off the ball should position themselves in the defender’s "shadow" and use quick, sharp movements to “dismark” and create passing lanes. Passing Technique: • Emphasise accuracy and care with the ball, using both feet for passing to adapt to different angles and situations. Controlled Speed: • Movements and passes should be executed at high intensity but remain controlled to maintain rhythm and precision. Timing and Awareness: • Players should time their runs and passes to coincide with the flow of the sequence, always scanning for space and defender positioning.
