The Language of a Pass

I found this interesting video that is analyzing the fault in the following counter attack, and how the player can kill the movement of the team or stimulate it. It makes the difference between a great team and an average team. Sometimes, you find a team is trapped in the middle and just cannot penetrate to the other team to create chances.

Or this goal by London Donovan vs. Brazil in the Confederation Cup final for the same year, I was so impressed by the quality of this counter attack

Or Hagi great move together with Demetriscu vs. Argentinaand of course, the master of passes Zizou, most of his passes had a language in them. Sometimes to speed the game, sometimes to gain time, and other times, just to slowdown the game,
