Master Technique: Combination Plays

Pass and move, move and pass. Draw the defenders in and then play the soccer ball quickly to the other side of the pitch where there’s more space. That’s the art of the give and go and beating defenders, as you can see in this Barcelona soccer highlight soccer.

Soccer teams have tried to corner the Kings of Possession football and snare them in a trap, but no matter how big the net is, Barcelona manage to wriggle out of trouble.

There’s no better team at exchanging, short, quick, incisive passes in a small space. One-two here, one-two there, it’s like watching an illusionist escape a straight jacket.

If you want your youth soccer team to perfect the wall pass or give and go then master it at a walking pace and then slowly build up the speed for the combination and then add more pressure from defenders.
