vvvvIn turn, the players on the outside
pass to the player in the middle,
who takes two touches: one to
control, one to pass back. Rotating
clockwise, work the player in the
middle for 15 seconds. Challenge
them to make as many passes as
they can in this time. Instruct them
to use the inside and outside of their
feet to control and pass. Progress the
drill by having the players on the
outside serve the ball in the air for the
central player to control and return.
HOW IT HELPS
It doesn’t matter what angle, height or
pace Andres Iniesta receives a pass –
he’s able to control it, beat a man and
find a team-mate. Asking the central
player in this drill to deal with a variety
of deliveries and getting them to use
different techniques to control the ball
will improve their ability to cope with
a pass, even if it’s not a good one.
