CUT HER ANGLE OFF.

At higher levels, breaking lines is not only done through passing.

It is done by carrying the ball through pressure.

The key is recognizing when the opportunity is there.

THE TRIGGER.

When the ball and the press come from the same side,

you see both in the same frame.

That is the cue.

That is when you can dribble forward.

MOMENTUM.

Defenders are already moving in one direction.

If you move with that direction, you help them.

If you move across it, you beat them.

Changing direction takes time.

Forward movement does not.

CUTTING THE ANGLE.

You do not need to outrun the defender.

You take your first touch across their path.

You cut their angle.

Now they cannot continue their run.

They either stop or chase.

ELIMINATING THE LINE.

Once you beat the first defender,

you eliminate an entire line of pressure.

Now the next line has to react.

That creates new space behind it.

FORCING DECISIONS.

The next line must choose.

Step forward or hold position.

Both create openings.

You are now controlling the situation.

PRINCIPLE.

Do not dribble away from pressure.

Dribble through it.

Use angles.

Use momentum.

Break the first line.

Attack the next.

That is how you carry the game forward.
