Playing the Lofted Pass from Defense to Forwards
On receiving the ball, take first touch away from pressure and use this to set yourself up for the next pass. When striking the ball looking for distance and air, plant the non-kicking foot next to the ball pointing towards the intended target, in this case the forward. Strike the bottom of the ball, leaning back when doing so as to get the ball off the ground. To allow for distance and accuracy follow through the pass.

Attacking the Defender in a 1v1 Situation
Approach the defender using soft touches, keeping the ball close to the feet. Attack the front foot of the defender, trying to unbalance them. Before reaching the defender change your speed and direction, faking to go one way by dropping your shoulder, and then take the ball the other, to allow you to pass them. Once past the defender, use bigger touches increasing your stride.

Keeping possession in tight areas
Use a low and wide body stance when holding players off in an attempt to keep possession of the ball in confined areas. Keep the ball on the furthest away foot from the opposition player using the outside or sole. Have your arm out for protection and balance in able to hold off any pressure and avoid turning into any pressure if possible.
