This is a football skill challenge that the players can facilitate on their own without the need for a football coach.

I recently presented this as a topic at a Football Coaching Seminar in Porto, Portugal.

We hear a lot about possession play. Brendan Rogers at Liverpool has developed and evolved a very successful playing style based upon possession based football - although it does help that you have Suarez in your team at the sharp end of all the possession based play!!

Question: My football coaching philosophy is to keep possession through short passing and good support. But the reality is that my players don't seem capable of doing this and the play keeps breaking down and they are loosing confidence in what I am trying to achieve. Can you help with some coaching sessions that can develop these short passing and support skills and increase my players confidence?
