The use of square pass for playing attacking soccer





Changing the point of attack

Using short square passes is an effective way of changing the point of attack. Notice how the black players give support by running up from defense as well as by dropping back from the frontline.




Building up attacks

When safely building up an attack, the defensive line must use square and back passes until a good offensive opportunity arises. This forces the enemy team to work by shifting laterally in order to close down angles. The defenders must be thinking in terms of possession rather than force the ball up. They would also need to have a decent level of skill.
