Quality Factors

- First touch in the direction of play — control the ball so that the next pass is possible immediately - Opening up the body before receiving the ball — the player scans the pitch situation before the touch - Timing and accuracy of the pass — the ball moves faster than the player, so unnecessary touches slow things down - Offering support — the team's players off the ball move constantly into passing lanes - Creating triangles — at least two passing options for the player on the ball at all times
