Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 20Often, the player who has just won the ball is vulnerable to a counter-press and must look to move the ball quickly.If this player is facing forward, and has forward runners, a direct pass in behind can be a good option.However, this is a risky pass as it could lead to a loss of possession (risk v reward)2Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 20If the player who wins the ball is not facing forward, the team needs to find someone who is quickly.With the view of the pitch they have, the player facing forward should understand the next option available to them.This may be to a runner in behind. Again, a risky pass but could let the team push up the pitch and recover.2Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 20The team who wins the ball may wish to play a short pass (or passes) to move into space available in the transition (or to recycle possession)Superior dribblers can often take the ball up the pitch and counter attack the opposition quickly.Teams often employ a mix of ball carrying and combination passing in these scenarios2Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 20There will be times where teams will need to restart possession as their style of play will demand this.Alternatively, if a team has (e.g) faced 3 different phases of attack, they may want to take the sting out of the game by going backGame management matters2Reply

Brian Willis • Oct 20Thanks Kevin. This is really relevant to some of the issues my boys are having. I can’t get them to pass back and reset in matches, no matter how much we train it.2Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 20@Brian Willis Hi Brian, I’ve had this confusion with teams before and in my situation, it was because they didn’t know when and why they had to pass back and reset.In my case, it was when the players ahead and away from the ball were not in a position to help us progress the ball via a riskier pass, so we can pass back to attempt to secure possession.A lot of coaches hate players passing backwards but I would rather this than give the ball away. Giving the ball away turns games into 90 minutes o… See more3Reply

Sean Ancheta • Oct 21This is good stuff Kevin.I personally like a direct pass right after regaining possession. I like keeping a striker right next to the CB who is ready to make a run if needed.2Reply
