44 Rondo Details by Albert Puig (part 3 of 4) (Patreon)

21) SPEED in making DECISIONS. Acceleration of the mechanisms of perception, decision and execution.

22) ATTACK THE BALL in the 'pass' action.

23) Kicking the ball without letting the leg follow the direction of the ball. Pass is like a PUNCH.

24) NEVER FOLLOW the ball AFTER giving a PASS. Give time and pass lines to the receiver of the ball. The ball always travels with pressure.

25) 'THIRD MAN'.

26) Work zonal defending. Work on COVERAGES. Cover the teammate that is pressuring. Reduce the space of progression. Defend the goal.

27) Living the game. Constant SUPPORT MOVEMENTS.

28) Low game, quality PASSES.

29) STEAL the ball. WHEN TACKLE:

- If the ball holder is positioned parallel to the far player.

- When the ball holder is giving his back.

- When there is poor control and the player loses control of the ball.

- When I achieve to cut the pass line through pressure and the ball holder has no options.

30) DEFEND WITH THE BALL. Keep the possession of the ball.
