Key takeaways for this lesson:

  • With ball control we mean specifically the moment when your player receives the ball and in which direction you turn. This is a decisive action as this is going to dictate in which direction you pick up momentum and also determines what kind of passes you can play.
  • In order to make the right decision, you have to evaluate the current situation on the pitch. Where are the opponents players positioned, in which directions can you continue your play with dribbling or passes.
  • Also observe especially the opponents selected player and in which direction he moves.
  • Good decisions for a ball control will benefit your attacking play as you're able to avoid pressure, but also enable you to proceed with your attack. Poor decisions can lead to immediately lose the ball. Hence everytime you receive the ball with one of your players, it's a crucial moment in your attack.
