Key Coaching Points
Close control - knee over the ball, small touches using different surfaces of the foot to manipulate the ball.
Awareness - recognise where the space is to move into, open body shape before turning into the 1v1. Having the head up to see the pitch in front when in the 1v1 to attack the space.
Change of speed - force the opponent to react to the movements and speed, making it difficult for them to read the intention.
