KEEP DRIVING.

This video is about understanding what happens when you drive at a back line.

A lot of attacking midfielders rush the final pass because they don't immediately see a clear option. The problem is that the best opportunities often appear after the back line is forced to make a decision.

As long as you're driving forward with your hips facing goal, defenders are under pressure. Most back lines will continue to drop because they don't want to expose the space behind them.

The important thing is understanding that they can't drop forever.

Eventually someone has to step.

And when a defender steps, the back line breaks vertically. That's when gaps appear. That's when runners become available. That's when the final pass becomes easier.

Patience creates the opportunity.

Instead of forcing the action early, continue driving and let the defenders reveal the solution.

The best playmakers don't just see the pass.

They create the pass.

Keep driving.

Force a decision.

They can't drop forever.

Wait for the line to break.

Create the pass before you play it.
