Knees bent is an important concept when moving with the ball (see below) in trapping and in passing. I assume you mean in possession?

I try and explain to players their are three speed zones on the pitch. 30mph for crowded congested areas. 50mph when running through space and finally the "chuck and run" 70mph zone.

It is in the crowded area that bent knees are especially important as they help afford better posture and vision. This makes for better decision making.
