Playing through the thirds

Gone are the days of lumping the ball up to the final third and hoping your big forwards get on the end of it. What?s fashionable now is the ball out from the back and play through the lines to build up play in progressively. Nowadays we regularly see the goals with 20, 30, 40+ passes in the build up lauded as the great goals, so get your team playing that way, passing from defence into midfield and into the forward line.
