As the saying goes, “you can’t put the cart before the horse”. The team’s tactical work is useless if the players don’t have good skills. The ability to move the ball is an extremely important individual aspect which is reflected in team play. Normally, it is something that is practised in the lower categories and gets forgotten over the years. I feel that it is something that should also be trained in senior and professional teams. If we introduce pair work and competitive exercises, the technical work can be great fun!
