Aaran is a Central defender so it is more likely that the goalkeeper and defensive partner pass Aaran the ball and usually in a football match the goals would be his options. in this drill a ball will be passed to Aaran and he has two touches to control the ball and pass into a net. This will be determined by the player passing the ball shouting a number that corresponds to that net. After a couple passes the green players will start to cut off nets by pressurising Aaran. This is important because Aaran needs to be able to pass quickly and accurately so when attackers close him down he can keep possession.
