Coaching Points -

• Good quality, selection & timing of passes
• Movement to create good angles and distances to receive
• Decision making - Striker, shield and turn or combine with teammates? 8 & 10, support play from behind or third person run?
• End product - Killer pass and finish, alive to seconds off GK
• Covering positions if possession is lost (midfield 6)
• If ball is lost quick recovering runs to deny scoring opportunity (T2D)
