This video is about using your first touch to eliminate pressure.

A lot of players see open space and immediately drive into it.

The problem is that open space doesn't always eliminate the defender.

It often allows the defender to stay connected and recover.

The best players think differently.

They don't just attack space.

They attack angles.

When you can see both the ball and the pressure in the same frame, you already have the information you need.

That's your invitation to be brave and play forward.

Instead of taking the touch away from the defender, take the touch across her path.

Cut off the angle.

Now she has to follow you.

Now she's behind the play.

The same principle shows up constantly in wide areas, where the direction of the pressure makes it easier to use your body and first touch to eliminate the defender immediately.

Don't attack the space.
Attack the angle.
Cut off the path.
Leave the pressure behind.
