Controlling and passing the ball is another vital technique in Soccer that needs to be mastered by any soccer player who wants to better his game.
It takes a whole bit of focus, timing and well of positioning of the body with appropriate body turning in order for you to be fully in charge of that ball.
In passing the ball, direction is key as you need to command the ball with your foot where it should go. Usually, you pass the ball to your team mate in order to have more ball possession and scale down on the chances of your opponent attacking your team.
Controlling involves stopping that ball before hitting it any where else.
