Hi Nathan. We will look to combine this with Daniel's questions in Football Education. Look out for the next Talking Everything Football class. 

Hi Daniel, let us put a little class together on it. Give us a week or two. 

Thibaut R. No problem. You know where we are if you need us 👍

Great question. From my experience, timing is one of those things that’s difficult to coach directly. You can give players cues and triggers, but a lot of it comes through repetition, experience and the connection they build with each other. One thing I try to do is create reference areas or movements they need to pass through before arriving. The key message is always to arrive as late as possible. We use the phrase “arrive at the same time as the ball” rather than arriving early and waiting. The exact trigger depends on the pass. If the weight and quality of the pass allows the receiving player to play first time, the link player may need to move a fraction earlier. If the receiver is likely to take a positive first touch, then the trigger naturally changes. If I’m honest though, I wouldn’t spend too much time trying to coach the exact timing. It’s more about helping players develop a feel for the practice. I prefer to give them simple challenges like “arrive with the ball” and then reinforce it with plenty of praise when they get it right, showing them exactly why it worked. Over time, those successful moments help build the understanding and timing you’re looking for.

Hopefully this reply was helpful Thibaut?

Daniel Acheson, great question, Daniel. Yes, the side connections are used with different systems of play. For example, with the 3-5-2, your side centre-back becomes the third player in the connection. Just be mindful that there are a handful of systems where you will focus just on collective and individual movements.If you have any more questions, please send them over. Tactx

That is now available

CHEN All sorted now, the correct video is attached.

Thanks Thibaut.

Should now be in working order.
