DESCRIPTION

Shielding the ball/ Keeping possesion/ Creating options inspiration- Philip Lahm

Lahm may be an asset moving forward, with a lovely shot and bags of vision, but his determination, strength and awareness on the ball create these opportunities. By consistently be able to retain possession using his body, he creates time, space and allows his teammates the option to receive the ball. His retention when moving forward was key to German success, and therefore a drill encouraging this necessity is integral to the modern game.
