Teamwork v Individual Brilliance

Guys, I'm not expecting us to hit the lofty heights of these footballers, but there are tips we can take from the best in the world.
Firstly, the two team goals by Torres and Cambiaso display what coaches are always trying to point out.

Puyol makes a great run and delivers a pass, he then continues his run. This is done regardless of wether or not he will recieve the ball. This keeps the defence guessing and gives another option to the attackers. There are a few more examples of that on this video. (point them out)

Cambiaso's goal for Argentina is teamwork at it's best. Notice how often players show for the ball and how many diamonds are formed. The diamond shape gives the ball carrier three options. Short passes are made to players who seem marked and no-one takes on a player stupidly or makes a needless turn. Eventually the goal is a simple finish with a very patient build up.

As for the individual goals, technique, technique, technique. We will try and get as many hours as possible to work on that and hopefully we can all improve together.
