A pass can split a defence in two – even at youth level the killer pass is the through ball that makes a goal scoring chance for your attackers.

It’s the ball you are always looking for whether you are playing in the top leagues or the bottom leagues, the ball that splits the defence is the one that brings you goals.

If you watch an expert like Kaka do it, then maybe you can get your players to copy it, It isn’t easy and nine times out of ten it gets cleared away. But when it works, boy does it work.

Watch Kaka’s guide to passing and see him hitting defence splitting passes…
