Find yourself panicking under pressure in a game situation? FFT has a cure. Tighten up your technique and carry the ball with composure, courtesy of this ball mastery exercise
SET UP
Place two cones five yards apart. Divide the players into the two groups, positioning them on opposite cones. Give one group a ball.
ACTION
A1 passes the ball to B1 and moves forward to apply passive pressure, but not tackle. With their first touch B1 pushes the ball around A1 and passes to A2. The sequence continues.
HOW IT HELPS
In a game, especially in midfield, you’re under constant pressure. There’s no time to take a touch and think. Your first touch has to take you away from danger. Andres Iniesta doesn’t just control the ball with his first touch – he sets up his next move. This drill teaches a player to stay one step ahead.
