🔑 Creating & Exploiting Space

To create space, you must have the courage to attract and invite pressure.

Invite the press. Don’t avoid it.

Your first touch is the key.
Your body shape, your tempo, your direction.
That’s what draws opponents in.

When they step, space opens somewhere else.

Then
• Mix short passes to draw them in
• Use mid-range passes to shift their block
• Use long to drop their line deep to create space in front of you.

Manipulate the opposition. Move them before you move the ball forward.
