A perfect control over the ball is required. Many people forget that before you can play this way your technique have to be on a very high level. 

 

"Passing the ball in one time (without first touch) asks for more technique than keep the ball 200 times up."

  • Johan Cruijff (Former player and coach of Ajax and FC Barcelona)

 

"Behind every kick of the ball there has to be a thought."

  • Dennis Bergkamp (former player of Arsenal, Inter and Ajax)

 

"Technique is not being able to jungle a ball 1000 times. Anyone can do that by practicing. Then you can work in the circus. Technique is passing the ball with one foot, with the right speed, at the foot of your team mate."

  • Johan Cruijff (Former player and coach of Ajax and FC Barcelona)
