Description and Graphics
Players perform different combinations and deep penetrating runs.
The accurate passes, timing of underlaps and movements are very important.
The players must orientate and perceive the situation of the ball and if it's necessary they must speed up or slow down while underlapping to get the ball in the right time.
The harmonization of movements and passes are also imperative because of the balls must be synchronized.
