In the drill, I want the players tp be able to pass and be able to also get in a good possition to recive the ball and re pass the ball. This excercise will improve the passing, coordination, your crossing skills and also the way you shoot at a close range from a shot.
key points:
passing: Keep communicating with your team mate and dont do the pass to powerful or week for the other player to recive the pass.
crossing: make sure you cross the ball with good hight inside the box, but not to close to the goal keeper as he could catch the ball.
getting in a space: make sure there is no one around you and you are in a good position to recive/pass the ball.
